Contactless key app did not work when we returned to the room after dinner. Problem solved nicely after calling hotel rep. Morning person working in reception was not in good spirits, complained about not having help doing his job. Nice location, staff responsive otherwise.

No soundproofing between rooms. That could have been a problem but we had quiet neighbors. Parking is extra but easy to get in and out for a “city.”

It was confusing on how to enter the building , I did not realize I needed to enter a code , until I asked ( which the response was very quick ) however it would have been nice to know prior to arriving. Also there was a great little coffee bar with other hygiene items , however it would be great to also have utensils there as well Thank you

Our spot in Portsmouth
Ale House Inn is centrally located in down town Portsmouth, NH, walking distance from everything with dedicated parking for a surcharge which is nice! Sits on the second floor of an old warehouse with a small but cute communal room with coffe, tea, water! Room is simple but clean, quiet and nicely decorated. Beds are really comfortable and clean. Front desk is on site 9am-5pm but excellent communication off hours for whatever you may need, we didn’t meet anyone but got loads of assistance with recommendations and such! Room access is through a digital key but very straight forward process and finally is reasonably prices for location and time a year! Conclusion it a nice, cool spot if you need all the basics and great service without having to pay for the extra stuff we never use like gym, pool, 24/7 on site concierge! If you’re planning to spend most of yr time in yr bedroom this may not be the place for you but more for downtown weekend getaways! I would totally come back here! :)))

We had a nice stay at Ale House. Very cool building, easy parking across the street, and great location to walk to everything downtown. Biggest drawback was the inability to control the A/C.... it was freezing in the room, and I had to sleep in sweats (in August). Also, the lighting was poor and in fact the main lamp had a burned out bulb. I would caution anyone who can't climb stairs, as that seems to be the only way to get into the building.
