“Lovely little inn close to everything”

Reviewed 6 days ago NEW

This inn is gorgeous. We absolutely loved the location, the beautifully renovated rooms. It is walking distance to the whole downtown area of Portsmouth. My fiance could not have planned a better location for us to stay on our engagement weekend. Thank you for an extremely comfortable stay. PS, they have the cutest anchor room key chains...apparently very popular, because... More

INNKEEPER’S FAVORITE REVIEW

“Great hospitality”

Reviewed May 30, 2016

Great boutique hotel near all the action of downtown Portsmouth. Hospitality was excellent. Craig was there the 2 days of our stay and he provided restaurant tips (all of which were excellent) and chatted about the hotel and Portsmouth. Very friendly and relaxed environment. The hotel provides a free beer on check-in and has snacks and coffee available in the... More

“Best of the vacation!!!”

Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

To those who have reviewed this Inn poorly, I roll my eyes. This place is so amazing we elected to stay in tonight instead of venture back out. We literally refuse to get out of this comfy bed. The mattress and pillows are like sleeping on a cloud. We got the "Petite Queen", which is really all one needs. This... More

“A gem that's not too hip for boomers.”

Reviewed 5 weeks ago

Ale House Inn is a gem of a hotel, especially with guidance from Craig at the desk. Our daughter thought it might be too hip for us (mid-60s) and suggested a Hilton option, but this was much better in lots of ways. Great location and style. Room ready early. Not for those who can't climb stairs or want to spend... More

Great little hotel in the perfect location in downtown Portsmouth. Excellent staff!! You receive a complimentary beer at check-in and complimentary water and snacks. Room was nice and air conditioned. I would definitely stay there again. Looking forward to staying at more of the Lark hotels.

“Porstmouth Anniversary weekend”

Reviewed August 7, 2016

Excellent quaint hotel downtown and in easy walking distant to most attractions. Excellent staff. Parking was offsite due to construction but that was fine and they took $$ off of the final bill to compensate. We really enjoyed out time there

“Quaint and Comfortable”

Reviewed August 3, 2016

We recently visited the Portsmouth area and east coast (newbies) and had a great trip. The second leg of our trip included staying at the Ale House Inn. It was a quaint little hideway with an urban feel - but modern accommodations. Be prepared though, the elevator is shared with the condo owners on the second floor and since the... More

“short stay”

we found the Ale House Inn on Trip Advisor, and so glad we chose it. We received a welcome email prior to our checking in giving us parking directions and instructions. a nice touch. We found that it was a walkup to the second floor to checkin. There is no elevator from the ground floor so this Hotel is not... More

“Disappointing and stressful!!”

Reviewed July 27, 2016 via mobile

Arrived at the Ale House and checked in with staff. We were informed that the "parking" across the street was not available due to last minute paving. Young lady at desk then opened a map of Portsmouth and began circling possible options where we "might" find alternate parking. Locations were scattered around town and were up to a 15 minute...

“Location!!!! YES! Sweet Place”

Reviewed July 23, 2016

This very small boutique hotel is located perfectly for those who like a quick walk. Prescott Park and the harbor trail is one direction and Market Square is the other - each maybe .25 to .50 mile away. Staff is very friendly - little amenities like beer, keurig coffee, water and snacks also make you feel welcome. While the room... More
