Budget accomodations and other Portsmouth, NH Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

When EmilieNoelle was planning this meeting she warned us the Portsmouth lodging could be on the expensive side, even the Motel 6 exceeded $80 per night. Since I was going to be picking up a car, this hotel made a lot of sense to me, inexpensive for the area, free parking and not that far from town (2.7 miles according to their website), it took about 10 minutes by car. That is when we weren't driving around lost!

It's cheaper to book on the internet and weekday rates are cheaper than weekend.

Unique Qualities: The room was clean and comfortable, very basic. No toiletries besides soap, no hair dryer in the room although I understand you could get one from the front desk. The bedspreads are rather garish, a bright electric blue with the Motel 6 logo worked into it.

There is an outdoor swimming pool but it was already closed for the season. There are vending machines in the lobby and on each floor but if you need to get sodas and snacks there is also a Shaw's grocery store about a minute away by car. Free coffee in the lobby.

One of our group managed to get a room with a refrigerator and microwave for an extra $3 per night but not all rooms have it so ask in advance if it's important to you.
