Loved the location, the staff and the lobby. The hotel is in an area with several great restaurants and clubs, and within walking distance to the NTelos Pavilion. We were in town to see two concerts and this was the perfect location for our stay. I fell in love with the town and the people of Portsmouth! more

This hotel is a mixed bag but don't let that stop you from trying it. I would definitely stay here as a business or solo traveler, but would take a pass if with my significant other or family. Pros: Great location - walking distance to several neat restaurants/bars; nice wine store next door too; right on the cusp of a... more

I traveled for business. My self and co-worker got in around midnight sunday. The front desk clerk had my name but not my co-workers for a room, took about 15mins to find a two double bed room for us. We went to our room and it was dirty so we went back down with all of our bags and got... more

This was great find. We could have stayed at a Raddison 3 blocks away for another $40-$50 but took a chance and was pleastly suprised. If you want the predictablity of the large chains it may not be for you but if like a nice hotel with just a little bit of character this is find. Rooms were clean and... more

Our experience with this hotel exceeded our expectations. For the low rate, we did not anticipate that the Governor Dinwiddie would be quite as nice as it was - and in a fantastic location as well. The interior of the hotel was very clean and welcoming - as was our room. Our room on the 7th floor offered a cool... more

While the idea of a renovated boutique hotel is a fine one, particularly for charming Olde Town in Portsmouth, the management of the Governor Dinwiddie sours the experience. For our wedding, we able to get a decent rate for our guests to stay in fairly basic rooms. Response time to fix any minor problems -- bringing fresh towels and the... more

This was a stop over stay on our trip to the Outer Banks, Portsmouth was a convenient stop. The hotel is right along what seems to be the main drag, High Street, in Portsmouth. Since we were only staying overnight, the location was great for the evening. We were across the street from the Bier Garden, awesome and would recommend... more

This place is mediocre. The room is spacious; the price is good; and there are a number of nice amenities such as free wi-fi, free parking, and laundry rooms. However, this place is very old and shows it despite renovations. The toilet in our room leaked all over the floor. The bed was a nice-sized king, but creaky. The A/C... more
