The Ale House Inn impressed me right off with its perfect location and easy accessibility to everything in downtown Portsmouth, but without the downtown traffic. I was able to walk everywhere, leaving my car parked my entire stay. The room was well appointed with thoughtful goodies for the guests: docking station for my iPhone, Keurig coffeemaker, small fridge (which I... more

My wife chose the Ale House Inn for its beautiful rooms and the perfect location in the heart of Portsmouth. The stay couldn't have been more pleasant; with great service, a comfortable bed and all the little luxuries that make a hotel stay simply wonderful. Thanks again Doug & Dan! We will be back... more

I was very much pleased with everything related to staying at the Ale House Inn -- from making my reservation to check-out. I actually had to switch my reservation date after already receiving a confirmation email, and it was NO problem -- not only was it not a problem, Doug treated with respect, kindness, patience, and overall wonderful customer service.... more

We stayed in the cozy queen room on a Sunday night. Even though the room is considered cozy it was plenty big enough for 2 people. Great attention to detail in the decor. Bed was extremely comfortable. And ... how can you beat Aveda products! The room rate on a Sunday night is extremely reasonable. Great location - walking distance... more

This Inn is a great find. It is in a great location, walking distance to everything in Portsmouth. We loved the Inn, Doug has done a great job redecorating the place and the room is really comfortable now. We would highly recommend the Ale House to anyone who wants to visit Portsmouth more

I wanted a place located within walking distance of the shops, resaurants, activities in Portsmouth and the Ale House Inn is in a perfect location for that. Doug has owned the inn for a short time and has created a wonderful, warm and welcoming inn. My room was clean and comfortable. Although the bathroom was a bit dated it was... more

Once parked, you're steps away from everything you need. It was well-maintained and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Not only that, the parking, internet and bottled water was complimentary. What more could you ask? more

An impromptu visit to the Portsmouth Visitors centre lead us to this small gem of a hotel tucked into a refurbished building close to Portsmouth's restaurants, shopping and history. Doug was helpful from the moment we called and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our visit. The rooms are unique in a modern and tasteful way with careful attention... more

We stayed at the Ale House for one night on the way up to Maine and can thoroughly recommend the experience. The staff were helpful and welcoming, and the rooms well appointed and scrupulously clean. The bathroom was a little pokey, but we had a peaceful night’s sleep in a comfortable bed and that is what really counts. One thing... more
