We stayed here the last 3 nights and overall were very happy with our choice. The hotel has obviously been recently overhauled with pretty much everything being replaced. The included breakfast, though limited, was great! I was impressed to see whole wheat bagels, English muffins and toast every morning. The coffee was excellent. There was always a staff person refilling stock and keeping the room clean. It's about a 25 minute walk to downtown, which we did 2 days. It's a very pleasant walk and easy to navigate. We looked at rates of other places downtown and even in this area and this place couldn't be beat. I would stay here again. Like others said, the highway noise is a bit loud if that bothers you, but traffic isn't too bad at night when you're trying to sleep.

This hotel is conveniently located near I-95 and Route 1-Bypass. That's the good news... and the bad.||The biggest problem is the noise, day and night, from the highway immediately next to the hotel. If your room is on the side nearest that highway, it's nearly impossible to sleep soundly. (The car noises...? Not so bad. The steady stream of heavy trucks and motorcycles...? Yikes. Those noises practically echo in the rooms.)||The second problem is how tired and outdated the hotel seems. There are the little issues, like no hooks or towel racks in the bathroom of the first room we stayed in. Or the lack of a fan/ventilation in the bathrooms. And the irregularity of the water pressure and uneven water temperatures in the shower.||Then there are the more worrisome issues, like the way the hotel elevator does a little jump when it starts moving, and shudders much of the rest of the time as it moves between floors.||Also, soundproofing between the guest rooms seemed nonexistent. During the afternoon, it sounded like we were next to a daycare center; at least three children were shouting and shrieking while throwing things (a ball?) at the wall between their room and ours.||And, while breakfast was surprisingly good, with a wide array of options, from yogurts to breakfast sandwiches, the breakfast room is fairly small and cramped. (We ate in our bedroom, where the microwave worked better, as well.)||The one really good feature about the hotel is its staff. The morning after our first sleepless night, Robbin at the front desk immediately moved us to a far nicer, quieter room on the other side of the hotel. He did this in a friendly and professional manner, and that was much appreciated. ||Also, both of our rooms were very clean, even if the furnishings were... well, a bit tired. The bed in our second room was on some sort of metal box support. On one side, it creaked and squealed every time I got out of bed. (To be honest, my husband and I laughed every time. It reminded us of the sound effects in the old "Addams Family" TV series.)||Robbin deserves five stars for being helpful and very professional. Otherwise, this would have been a one-star review. (I was tempted to give this hotel a three-star review, but I just can't get myself to say this hotel is "average." So... two stars is the best I can do, and only because Robbin and his staff are so good at their respective jobs.)||If you're a very sound sleeper, have great earplugs, or travel with a white noise machine, this hotel might be fine... tired and in need of improvements, but fine for an overnight stay, nevertheless. ||We would not return to this hotel, mostly because the highway noise kept us awake both nights. Even on the quieter side of the hotel, it was still too loud for a good, uninterrupted night's sleep.

The location of this hotel is both ideal and... not ideal at all. It's convenient to I-95 and US Hwy 1-Bypass... but it's also directly next to the very busy Hwy 1-Bypass. That's the #1 problem with this hotel: You can hear traffic - night and day - inside most of the rooms, and that can be very loud. Our first night in this hotel - in room 311 - was nearly sleepless, due to the roar of cars and motorcycles throughout the night. That, combined with a blaring TV in the next room... Let's just say it was not a great evening. (I finally called the front desk around 2 AM, and the neighbor's TV was soon silent. Yes, I should have called sooner.) I think much of the latter issue was soundproofing between the rooms; during the day, the room next to us had sounded like a daycare center, with at least three children's loud voices, and repeated sounds like a ball being thrown at the adjoining wall. However, compared with the highway noise...? Annoying but not nearly as much of a problem. The next morning, I spoke with Robbin at the front desk, and he was sympathetic, understanding, and tremendously helpful. He immediately moved us to a room on the other side of the hotel. That room seemed far more up-to-date, which made a huge difference. There was a better sense of space and cleanliness. More importantly, though we could still hear the highway traffic, it wasn't loud enough to keep us awake at night. Robbin's efforts prevented us from cancelling our second-night stay, and saved this from being a wholly one-star review. We were very impressed with his professionalism, and how quickly - and effectively - he responded to our request. Both hotel rooms were adequate, in terms of quality, but both rooms - like much of the hotel - seemed well-worn or even tired. The beds felt somewhat uneven. The elevator did a small jump every time it started, and shook a bit as it moved between floors. The carpets in the hallway probably need replacing. In our first room, there were no hooks or towel racks in the bathroom, so the only option was to leave used towels on the counter. In our second room (304), the king size bed's metal support (the box base) squealed - almost hilariously - every time I got out of the bed on the right side. On my husband's side of the bed, the noise wasn't quite so bad... but still reminiscent of "The Addams Family" TV series. In the latter bathroom - which did have hooks for towels - the shower's water pressure and temperature seemed to vary widely, from lukewarm to comfortably hot and back again, no matter what setting I chose. It was not a relaxing experience. There was no vent or fan in the bathroom, which almost made me glad that the water wasn't very hot. Even so, the room felt stuffy and steam-filled quickly. The good news...? The refrigerator in our room worked well, and the microwave in it seemed superior to the one in the breakfast room. Speaking of breakfasts... this hotel's food and beverage options were very good. Oh, the breakfast room is far too small for more than a few guests at a time, but the food was tasty and well-chosen with a wide range of yogurts, breakfast sandwiches (for the microwave), juices, cereals, and more. In my opinion, this hotel needs a thorough update and renovation. However, unless that renovation could mitigate the noise from the highway just outside its windows, I'm not sure it'd be worth the cost. Robbin and the staff are doing a great job with what they have. It's the hotel's noisy location and lack of overdue updates that were the problem. If the price is right and you're a very sound sleeper, this hotel might be fine. We're unlikely to return to this hotel again, and we'll be cautious about booking a room at other Howard Johnson hotels.

The hotel was clean and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff were very friendly as well. We popped in late and left early so we didn't get to use a lot of the hotel amenities but there wasn't anything we felt it lacked or could be majorly improved on. Location can be a little tricky so pay attention to the GPS but once you get there, parking and getting inside was also easy.

Convenient location, good simple breakfast with attentive staff. Great value is comparison with similar hotels. Liked the fitness room.

Well, let's start. When you're renting HoJo, you know what you're getting into. Old, outdated, relatively clean hotel. This one was cleaner than usual, but still had dirt between the bed and the headboard. The breakfast area is the size of a large SUV or commercial van. With 6 round tables, yesterday's coffee (it was cold), and almost nothing to snack on. ( not even boiled eggs) located on the side of the entrance to RT 95, about 2 miles from the shopping mall. Suitable for a short stay, with clean bedding

Positive: .Fluffy pillows, well-stocked tea/coffee station, surprisingly quiet considering location close to business and even an airport.… Negative: This location was a farther walk.much farther.…than the Quality Inn, which I walked by on my way. I lucked out that the rain held out; blisters/ splinters were unavoidable. Only slept for 4-5 hrs b/c a shower was necessary prior to 09:00 appointment.

Positive: The woman who worked the breakfast area was very thorough and refilled things quickly! Negative: It said there was a pool but actually you had to walk across a bridge over the highway to get to another hotel in which you were allowed to use their pool.

Stay 02 November 2024 We decided to visit Portsmouth, NH at short notice and hotel prices downtown were expensive ($350+) so decided to look a little further out and decided on HJ, which ended up being a good choice at good price. First off.... when checking into hotel, the guy on the front desk was extremely pleasant and helpful - always a good sign. The hotel rooms were comfortable, bright and spotlessly clean. The location of hotel was good.... it took us about 25 minutes to walk from hotel to downtown Portsmouth. We got an Uber back to hotel around 11pm and that cost less than $7. The complimentary breakfast was basic but sufficient. Parking was free.

My kids and I took a short trip from Portland and stayed here two nights. I was disappointed with the room and the hotel's amenities. First, the positive things. The bed was very comfortable. Service at the front desk was friendly. My kids, who'd never stayed in a hotel before, found the experience accessible and enjoyable. And the rates were reasonably low. However, the water pressure in the shower was very, very weak. There is no bathroom in the lobby; when we arrived, my daughter had to use the facilities, and we were sent to the basement to use the one down there, which was dimly lit and sparse. We were allowed to access the pool and get a discount at the restaurant ... at the Holiday Inn across a busy road. Half the stations on the television did not work/receive a signal. The wifi was down at least half the time. While we never had difficulty finding a spot, parking was very limited outside the front of the hotel. There were often rather shady characters sitting or loitering outside the hotel. I would not stay here again.

This review is a little late. I stayed for one night back in November and had trouble with a third party booking site. The manager and assistant manager helped me straighten out the billing which took more than a week to get a refund from the third party booking site. The room was clean and comforatalbe. I didn't get to enjoy the breakfast due to a very early morning departure. Best customer service around. Thank you.

While staying in Portsmouth last month, I ended up deciding to stay at this Howard Johnson beacuse they provide free parking and free breakfast. When I checked in with my husband, the girl at the front desk was very friendly (I checked in after 9 pm). After we got our hotel keys, we ended up using the hotel dolly and loading up our luggage from the car and pushed it to the 2nd floor, to where our room was. Upon entering our room, it was clean. In our room was a small mini fridge and a microwave. I thought the room was nice but parts of the room could have benefitted with more lighting (it was very bright in the bathroom though). The water pressure in the shower was fine and there were enough towels for our overnight stay. The bed was comfortable enough to sleep on. Our breakfast the next morning provided scrambled eggs, assorted pastries, toast, assorted cold cereals, instant oatmeal and fruit. There was also a waffle maker, yogurt, juice and milk available. This hotel does have a pool but we did not use it (too cold for us to take a dip). There is also a washer and dryer available on site but we did not use it. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and the room was pretty affordable for a weekday night.

So let's be clear: this is a hotel for people who are going to be on the go. Preferably, you're a deep sleeper who isn't sensitive to noise. It would help if you're not afraid of rotaries. This hotel has a small parking lot in front, and a larger on in back. It is right next to the main road, not far from a huge rotary, so you will have the zoom of cars all night. The walls are also a little thin, so you may be able to hear your neighbor. However, it's very clean, the shower is nice, and orange is so underused in decor. The employees were very friendly and clearly responsible for keeping the hotel as well as they can. It's also right near a state liquor store, so easy stop for stock up on your way home!

First Howard Johnson I've stayed at that was recent and clean. I was surprised. It was more affordable than other hotels in the area and centrally located for us.

This was a fine stop. First 1 con and that was the parking lot. Now the pros. First the room Bed was clean with what looked to be new linen. I got one king size bed. Fridge clean, microwave clean, Pillows and pillow cases new and clean. Carpet clean. Bathroom Amazingly clean, towels new and clean So clean I took a bath which I almost never do in a hotel. Water hot good pressure. I can't write about the breakfast because it is still 9pm. I also know I'll be to busy to wrote a review.

Surprisingly nice stay. Very clean with no residual cleaning smells. Room was exactly what expected and comfortable. Heat works great. Shower with plenty of hot water. Friendly staff. Simple microwave breakfast. Way better than two stars.

I had a clean room and the bed was comfortable. Overall, I had a great stay and would use this hotel again. However, I had a few bumps along the way. The room key stopped working after the first night (I was told it was because too close to my phone for too long), the tv stopped working and wouldn't turn off with the remote or power button, so I had to unplug it from the wall to reset, and the floor lamp initially would not turn on when I clicked the button, but after I got it on I struggled to get it off and in the end unplugged it. Not a big deal.

I had a wonderful time staying here. I was only staying 1 night on a Sunday. I expected it to be busy, but not at all! I think I had the whole floor to myself. So quiet! The man at the front desk let me choose what floor I wanted to stay on. I had the top floor and on a corner. Nice views! The room was small... BUT clean & new. Looks like they just redid the place. The bed and pillows were both comfy, like-new. The New Hampshire Liquor Outlet store is right next to the hotel and within walking distance! I am from New Jersey, so I got some local and imported stuff to go home with! Big selection. You are also within 10 min distance to the Portsmouth shopping district that has the mall and plenty of stores and restaurants. It is also right next to route 95 and is very convenient to get to!

Pretty decent hotel and newly remodeled. This hotel seems to be older but they did a nice job remodeling and giving it fresh new look. Check in was fast, rooms were clean. Fridge & microwave in room. Very close to downtown Portsmouth. Near the highway as well and close to many food, shopping areas. Free parking and WiFi as well, always a plus.

In spite of this hotel not having a pool, the service here was outstanding. The front desk personnel were always polite and cordial. They always provided information on places to go see and things to do in the area. I'm glad we chose to stay here while on vacation and I don't see a reason not to come back and stay at this hotel in the future again.

Been here for about :30 seconds and I have to leave 5 stars. The front desk personnel was excellent. The fact that she didn't TRY to pronounced my name and butcher it got a from me. She asked and then proceeded to say it RIGHT. Good job!! Josue is my name....go ahead and try to pronounce it. Read to the end where I will write the pronunciation. She also proceeded in giving us advice for downtown activities without us asking. Very informative. The hall ways smelled very very clean and NEW. The rug in the hallway was very clean looking. The rooms were the same, very clean. I can't find something bad to say about this place. Those paying over $200 for a hotel/motel....you really lost out on a good find. Keep it up HOJO!! HO-SWAY is how to pronounced what you might have said JOE-SUE don't worry, everyone calls me JOE-SUE

Tub doesn't drain in room 212. Stay away from this room! Love taking those ankle showers or more like leg baths

Easy checkin. Delish brownie upon arrival. Slow elevator but easy enough to take the stairs. Room was nice and clean. No pool but we were only there one night. Quick breakfast of free packaged muffins, apples/oranges, juice and coffee. Easy on/off the highway. What more can you need? We didn't attempt to go to downtown Portsmouth so not sure how far that is.

My wife and I stayed there 2 nights Labor day weekend 22, before dropping down to Rhode Island to finish off our couples get away long weekend. I will say that the staff was friendly, the rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable, it was conveniently located and we felt safe. That being said the only reason I gave this 3 stars is that you don't have the option for 1/2 a star. It would have gotten 4 stars but please don't say a hot breakfast is provided if it isn't. We were handed a breakfast sandwich at the front desk that you had to go back to your room to microwave and also a pack of mini muffins by Hostess. We did not bother to get the "hot breakfast" the 2nd morning, we went out to eat at an additional cost, which you may think you will save when booking due to the advertisement of a hot breakfast. It doesn't get 5 stars because it is not a five star place but neither were we charged a five star price. Bottom line, if you are looking for a clean room, friendly staff and a safe and convenient location this is a good stop. Knowing what I know now I would still stay here again. Dan H.

Howard Johnson - 383 Woodbury Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801, United States of America We stayed 3 days and received no housekeeping service the entire stay. Had to go to lobby to get towels, soap, coffee, etc. The employee I complained to the first time... assured me the room would be cleaned and it wasn't. Same employee apologized and said he'd have the manager reach out to me. On last morning, Tyrone called our room. He said he'd talked to head of housekeeping and she said that the "do not disturb" sign was on room each day when they last checked at 3:30PM. I told him it was not and he obviously did not believe me. Since we had to put it out each night, we know that it hadn't been left on the door. He might as well have called me a liar. I told him that if he wanted to believe his employee over a paying guest, then his decision was made. He offered NO apology or any correction to my bill or offer of any recompense (which I would have expected as a good will gesture). Also air conditioner didn't work well and there were no screens on the windows.

You guys. Booked a room last minute on Hotel Tonight with expectations of a bed and shower, and not much more. We were so pleasantly surprised. The room was super (like beyond) cute and comfy. The staff was incredibly friendly. Definitely a hidden gem in the Seacoast.

I have stayed in many hotels. This one was clean, comfortable and quiet. Though it is directly off the highway, we didn't hear a thing in the room. The staff is also super friendly. For a budget hotel, it's a fantastic value. I would definitely stay here again.

Pros & cons - Pros.... Very Clean. Modern and updated. Easy on/off the highway and minutes from downtown Portsmouth. Price was affordable and offering a AAA discount is nice. Breakfast included but minimal, bagels fruit cereal and English muffins w a couple pastries and coffee. But.... it's free. HBO is included in the room and TV is a good size wall mounted flat screen. Con, and really one 1. Our room was 202, something in the wall next to our room makes a loud rattling noise. It kept waking us up throughout the night. When I told the front desk at checkout I was told " thanks we will let maintenance know" , after he tried to say it was the ice machine which was at the end of hallway on opposite side of noise. No discount or partial refund on room charge. So our 3.5 hour ride home was tiring on no sleep. I would stay again but ask for a room away from 202 in hopes of avoiding that noise

For being a "2 star" hotel and for the price this place is a major steal!! At the time when I went it was the cheapest in the the whole area. I didn't expect much but was very happy with our experience here! Newly updated rooms, great lighting in the room and bathroom, great air movement, comfy beds, small fridge, lots of space, and quick ride to down town. If I ever make it back to this area I will absolutely stay here again! I can't believe it is only considered 2 stars!

Surprisingly bright and feels of high quality. My room was newly remodeled and was surprising nice. It was not a large room but it was vibrant and quirky which made up for it. The room was a queen size bed, contained a desk, TV, microwave, mini fridge and your typical ice bucket and shampoos. I did not like their pillows as they were very dense and very thick which made it a little awkward but overall I would and probably will stay here again.

Do not stay here!!! We had a leaky sink that we had to use all our towels on since it soaked the whole vanity and some of the floor plus, we staid for two nights and when we checked out, noticed they charged us for 4 nights, when we asked they told us it was a mistake on their end and they would take the 2 nites off but two days later was still missing from our account, I called, my fiancé called and they all had different reasons, one was we booked 4 nights and didn't show up, another was we booked 2 rooms, why would we book 2 rooms for the two of us, anyway, they took the charge away, only to take it off again almost a week later! Makes me wonder, how long does this hotel keep your information, so they can play games??? Stay anywhere but here, they will rip you off and the staff was very unhelpful and even rude to us when we tried to resolve this, which was their error.

I booked a room at this Howard Johnson through a third party booking site that does not allow you to see which hotel you are getting until you book & pay for the room. It was listed as a 2-star option, but it was definitely a step above other 2-star hotels I've received through similar sites. This Howard Johnson is very clean and welcoming. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was spacious, clean, well-lit, and comfortable. My room was listed as a non-smoking room and there were no smells to indicated otherwise - a problem I've had with other 2-star options. I was located not far from the front desk, but I didn't hear a single noise from outside my room. The heat worked great, the shower had hot water and good pressure (soap, shampoo, conditioner, & lotion were all provided), and the television was large enough to see from the bed. In the morning, I was happy to be able to take advantage of the free breakfast. It was a basic breakfast - an assortment of bread, bagels, & pastries; a few different cereals & oatmeal; microwaveable egg & cheese wraps; and juice & milk - but it was good quality, delicious, and included with the price of the room. This is definitely my new go-to budget hotel for the Portsmouth area.

I was looking forward to a stay at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Portsmouth. However when verifying my info I saw that the wrong night was booked. I called the local number to ask for a credit to rebook. The customer service rep told me I would need to call the toll free number on the Wyndham website. After talking to two people without resolution, I was told to call the local number. I was told by the manager that I was being billed for two nights. I explained that I've never booked two nights. They explained it probably was due to a computer glitch. In any event they were unwilling to issue a credit to rebook me for the correct date even though I never stayed in the hotel. This shows they are more concerned about money than customer service.

The front door, fire alarm pull stations, elevator, and configuration all tell the tale of an old physical plant. Having said that, it is clear that this hotel was carefully refreshed. While small, our room was spotless, and as noted in other reviews, was bright with good HVAC. Beds are comfortable. Front desk staff in person and on the phone were superb. I couldn't have asked for a better overnight stop on my way to Maine. The hotel is a stone's throw from I-95. Highly recommend. Also, a convenient relatively affordable place to earn Wyndham hotel points.

Only stayed one night but, it was great! The room was very clean, the staff was very sweet when we came in from our wedding and the accommodation for early check in so my now husband could get ready, was great! Breakfast the next day was included and since we were making a long car trip, the fact that it was pretty light fare was appreciated. Though the person checking us out did tell my husband that if he knew it was HIS wedding he was going to, he would have told him to run and snuck him out the back door... marriage isn't scary, or bad for everyone. Thankfully that was the only unprofessional thing we encountered.

My fiancée and I stayed two nights. This place seemed really nice used to be America's best Well far from that now since the change over. One our sink in the bathroom room 218 wad leakying from behind the faucet every time water was run. We went through our towels just keeping bathroom floor dry. Then the door in the bathroom would not seem to stop departing the metal ring that snap or twist into place was costanetly slidding front to back. It was a at best 3rd hand just need to get. Away kind of place the worse part the night we left we got charged 272.72 that was fine but as we went through our account we noticed they had charged us a 272.62 charge two times. This was the price at time for two nights. But it wad up to 545.44 now I got irrated we were getting double charge for this place and . I talked to people at front fest and was told it would be taking care of in morning. Not the case. So we called two times got lied to then I called to have a Kyle tell me to stop yelling at him. I stayed I'm not yelling he would know it if I was I told him it's not you if I seem hostile I wad double charged for a room that wad not even worth the $272.72 two night stay. After getting no where I contacted my bank they put a dispute in and cleared there cash from being taking. So all set no help from management or working staff. After a few days my 272.72 disappered and we got charged for one night at 135.36. I thought ok that's fine after all the aditudes and ignorance from the staff we have received. So I thought they realized the errors we were compensated for them. 4 days later I see it 135.36 charge for hotel and 272.72 charged. I'm letting travelers no do not go this Portsmouth New Hampshire Howard johnsons they will keep taking what they feel is right. I called about this and was told that it was not there fault I ordered two rooms. Why the hell would I order two rooms for me and my girl. ?? Give me a break. I understand because of covid 19 motels and hotels lost a lot of business. Well so didn't a huge percent of the world not just America. Stop ripping we the people off because with our us just another a I dined building that who knows a place for the sick to fight. Now after my stay and was charged 136.36 and then today on 8/11 I got the 272.72 charge these fucking people held my credit card numbers and ran now over 5 times fraudulently steal money from my account. Hey Tyrone Fields are you not the manager. Do your job or are you part of this. I'm now waiting on my lawyer to get back to me illegally taking money over 5 days after stay and now 3 over charges my. Bank fixed not them. Stay away from Howard johnsons Portsmouth N. H. A bunch of working thieves Wyndham is getting involved to fix my issues and get rid of some of there own after the 18th
