The hotel was conveniently located near downtown attractions.

The bathroom grout was visibly dirty and needed proper scrubbing.

I enjoyed my stay at Howard Johnson Portsmouth. The room was clean and well-decorated Although the check-in process faced some disorganization, the friendly staff and proximity to local attractions made it worthwhile. I'd definitely return.

pleasant stay with potential improvements

The staff impressed me with their friendliness and willingness to help which made our stay enjoyable. I appreciated the breakfast options which, while limited to cold choices, were still decent for a quick meal.

The dining area lacked personal space and felt cramped for the number of guests dining.

Had an awesome time with friends! We spent a day at Water Country Water Park, and also checked out York's Wild Kingdom Zoo and Amusement Park. The room was really nice and well-decorated. The location was perfect. just a short drive to great activities like whale-watching and shopping outlets. Plus, the staff was really helpful whenever we needed assistance!

Had an awesome time with friends! The room was really nice and well-decorated. Parking was limited, making it slightly inconvenient at times.

I really enjoyed my stay here, especially the comfy bed and the bright lighting in the room. The indoor pool is a fantastic place to unwind after a long day, and those cookies in the lobby were a sweet treat! The only downside was the noise from the doors when they closed, but it didn't take away from my overall experience. 😊

my stay at howard johnson was enjoyable. the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making any issues easy to resolve. the room was clean and equipped with a fridge and microwave. The hotel is conveniently located near the woodbury street bridge over rte #1. also, they have an agreement with the holiday inn for their pool, which is a nice perk.

the dining area felt a bit cramped.

Spent a fun day at Water Country Water Park, just a short drive away, making our stay even better! The room was bright and clean, perfect for relaxing after our adventures. Having a kitchenette really came in handy for midnight snacks!

In my wife’s opinion, the breakfast options were limited. It would be great to have more healthy choices for families.

The room was clean and comfortable, providing all the essentials for my business trip. The staff was attentive and friendly, assisting me effectively with my requests. The location is excellent, allowing easy access to local attractions and meeting venues. The breakfast included a selection of bagels, pastries, and cereals, which was a good way to start the day.

The hotel’s décor had lovely orange accents, bringing a cheerful vibe to the room. Accessibility features were thoughtful, providing comfort for seniors like me. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the room really made my stay enjoyable.

More grab bars in the bathroom, please.

I recently stayed at the Howard Johnson and had a pretty good time. Check-in was smooth, and the staff greeted me with warm oatmeal raisin cookies, which was a nice touch. The room was clean and spacious, definitely exceeded my expectations for a budget hotel. Decor had a quirky retro vibe that made it feel unique. However, I did face a few issues. The bathroom could really use more storage space around the sink, especially for longer stays. Parking was tough to find during peak times. had to park out back and felt a little uneasy about it. Overall, I would consider returning due to the overall cleanliness and pleasant staff interaction.

Spacious, clean room with solid Wi-Fi. noisy due to nearby highways.

affordable comfort with friendly staff and quiet rooms

Great cleanliness and wonderful staff.

Couples looking for a little extra

We entered our room and there was this heart-shaped chocolate box waiting for us. That little detail. The staff was really friendly, always there to crack a joke or two.

Sure, it wasn't the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.
