Parking was easy but on the street, not particularly secure, and expensive - $35/day. I didn’t check that before I made the reservation - much to my dismay. I never met any staff but they were very responsive. The coffee/rec area was very nice. The rooms were very tasteful, clean, and comfortable. Great location.

The room at The Bow was lovely, clean and very quiet. Located in a great spot with easy walking to the shops, restaurants and waterfront. Although the room was a little too warm for us for sleeping, the bed and linens were so comfy!

Very cute industrial chic with attention to detail, but our room was very small and all the furniture was quite low (for seniors). Digital check in, parking and location were all great.

Great experience in a great location in Portsmouth! If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable stay, that embodies a self service model, this is your place. They have a cozy lounge area with games and couches, a self serve coffee station as well as snacks that you can purchase. Very comfortable and our room was spacious. Good communication with staff. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Please let patrons know up front that parking is $35/NIGHT. The room was tight, but clean and modern. The mini fridge needs to be pulled out of the bottom of the closet. It was incredibly convenient to be on Bow street to walk anywhere we needed to in town. We saw a show in at The Rep theatre (same building), but we never heard any other shows, so it was lovely and quiet when we were in the room and common area.

Great location and everything you need.

Excellent location; very small window without view - but a window to open!! No breakfast, but who wants a lame hotel breakfast when you have the entire town right in your front yard with countless phantastic options.

My wife and I loved our stay here at the Bow. We enjoyed the location and its proximity to all the shopping and restaurants near by. The room is spacious with beautiful decor. The only thing to be aware of is that noise travels very easily in this establishment, other than that I would recommend staying here.
