Verified Reviews of Howard Johnson by Wyndham Portsmouth
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Clean and fine service."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Room clean and after first night well cleaned for second night.
John K. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from 
09-Sep-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Tue Sep 07 to Thu Sep 09 2021 at a $130.99 average nightly rate. 
"Disappointing"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
I was traveling on business and looked at the ratings for this hotel and decided that although on the expensive side, I would book a room. When I saw the room I realized that there was no desk to work at, only a narrow board attached to the wall barely making room for a laptop computer and little else. Although alone, I had been put in a room with two queen sized beds and no room to walk around. All of that was bad, but the A.C. did not appear to be working. The desk person kindly moved me to a room with a King sized bed and upon learning what room I was in said "Oh sorry, we have been having trouble with that room". No better desk, but at least the A.C. worked. Unfortunately, the room was next to the ice machine and several drunk patrons decided to party outside my room until mid night. I would have spoken to them but one of the drunks tried to open my door and didn't feel it was safe to speak to these guys. The next step would have been to call the front desk, but I didn't want to expose him or her to an unsafe situation and eventually the drunks went to bed. My advice is to never stay at the Howard Johnson's in Portsmouth particularly if you are on business. On the plus side the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
Gary R. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Worked out well for a quick getaway. Not really walking distance to market street ( little more than a mile) but a five minute car ride ! Rooms were clean and bed was comfy! Price was great too!
Kim R. (Group coordinator, booked 2 rooms), from
16-Feb-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Feb 13 to Sun Feb 14 2021 at a $74.99 average nightly rate. "There was no Continental breakfast like says noone put stuff out."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Need to improve.
Shane B. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
16-Sep-2020 Verified Review, stayed from Tue Sep 15 to Wed Sep 16 2020 at a $99.99 average nightly rate. "Cost of stay."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
It is unfortunate, that when I travel for business, I do not have anything to do with holidays yet, I have to pay those high rates. My last stay at this location was $89, this stay was $206 for the same room for one night, for one person! Robert.
Robert W. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
04-Sep-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Aug 31 to Mon Sep 02 2019 at a $174.61 average nightly rate. "Girls annual shopping extravaganza."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Our second time here. Love the retro decor! Room was spacious and neat and clean. Fridge and coffee maker. Lovely staff. I think the price would have indicated a less than comfortable room as it was quite inexpensive. Can't beat the location for our needs.Parking a bit tight but certainly doable. I slept like I died.
Glenda R. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
04-Nov-2018 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Nov 03 to Sun Nov 04 2018 at a $89.10 average nightly rate. Property Description
The newly renovated Howard Johnson Portsmouth offers brand new guest rooms featuring microwaves and refrigerators in every room. A complimentary deluxe continental breakfast is included in all rates. Located just a 1.5 miles to downtown Portsmouth and a hop, skip and a jump to Maine...it's the best value in Portsmouth!
