You won’t regret staying at Sailmaker’s!
Loved this hotel! Location: Super close to everything, yet far enough away to feel peaceful. Parking: Private lot outside the door! Room: PERFECTION. Loved the decor, super comfy bed, modern and clean bathroom. Extras: Snacks and beverages throughout the day in the lobby. Loved the soaps and hair products.

We loved staying here and will come again for sure. The location was great for walking into town for shopping and dining but also was right next to Strawberry Banke Museum andPrescott Park which are also wonderful places just to walk. Portsmouth is a lovely place.

Comfortable, quiet, small number of guests, easy walking distance to both dining reservations. Friendly staff. Will go again.

Lovely stay and very convenient! Make note that several rooms are upstairs which requires going up a tight steep staircase. A little tricky for someone with bad knees and carrying a suitcase.
