Howard Johnson by Wyndham Portsmouth

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Portsmouth

8/10 Good
"This is our third time staying at this Howard Johnson's. The lobby is clean and inviting and most staff were friendly and make us feel welcome. The cleaning staff does a great job making the room feel and smell fresh. Our only complaint was that the dining area ran out of coffee cups and we had to go back up and bring down those from our room. Inconvenient, but not a game changer. We always recommend this Howard Johnson's to friends visiting in the area."

"The Bow is in a great location, easy to walk to many restaurants and shops. Parking was easy across the street but an additional $35/night. Our gallery king room had a comfortable bed but no additional chair to sit. The bathroom was clean and modern but very small. View was of building windows across the way. Fine spot for one night in charming town."
