10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was a great value, and a really great location. Being steps away from the north ferry landing was such a great way to leave the car behind. Portsmouth is charming, and the view across to downtown Norfolk, especially in the evening with the firepit lit, was beautiful. The breakfast buffet was convenient and delicious. My suggestions: that the convenience store could have a larger supply of toiletry items stocked. Also, considering the length of the walk from the parking garage to the elevators, luggage carts would have been helpful to have available during check in and out."
