What guests think

Reviews of Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel highlight a highly walkable downtown location, friendly staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms, while noting recurring drawbacks like paid parking, occasional noise from neighbors and hallways, and isolated maintenance or housekeeping issues.

Many guests enjoy the lively lobby bar, breakfast, and on-site restaurant, though dinner quality and menu variety receive mixed feedback. Some rooms vary in size or layout, and a few guests mention limited views or windows that do not open. Expect a comfortable base with solid amenities and some urban trade-offs.

Large open lobby with a lobby restaurant and bar. Friendly bartender. Walking distance to EVERY place we wanted to visit. Stayed on 4th floor which appeared to be newly renovated. Noon time check out allowed us to not feel rushed the next morning.

Easy to Downtown Portsmouth. Having to pay for parking. Understand a little extra for valet but honestly - a guest at your hotel shouldn’t have to pay for outside, across the street, parking

This was a nice and clean property. The room was a little on the small side and there was no sofa, but there was one chair and a desk. The AC was loud. Breakfast was not included, but they had a restaurant and bar on site. They had an urn of delicious hot apple cider in the lobby in the evenings (and maybe in the afternoon). Shops and restaurants were within walking distance.

It was a beautiful place to stay, however for the amount paying for the room, should include the parking. $30 each day for parking across the street I thought was ridiculous.

We have stayed at this property before some years ago. Since that time, Sheraton has really upgraded the whole experience for guests. A pleasant entrance with a full bar and seating area in the background presents a welcoming tone from the beginning. The Staff, always ready to help with a friendly smile, deserves praise for attention to details.

Two days in a row House keeping failed to clean our room. Had to call the front desk for fresh towels, twice. No complimentary breakfast as you find in the Hiltons & Hyatt's. I will book other Hotels in the future. Staff was, however, excellent inside the property and helpful. Expensive property for the value given.

Overall very good - great location for walking into the town, very comfortable, and the Staff are super friendly. The only issue was that our windows were not at all clean on the outside so it made it difficult to see the view. Otherwise, would highly recommend for a visit to Portsmouth.

Our stay was quite disappointing. We were awoken in the middle of the night by a neighbor who checked into the room next to ours and proceeded to engage in a screaming phone conversation for almost two hours. On top of that our toilet paper roll holder was broken. After complaining to the concierge, we were offered a discount, however they were unable to honor it because we booked through hotels.com.

Location! Booked this full service hotel due to the location, but then, didn't need their restaurant or lounge, so many places in walking distance. Very safe area for walking, day or night. Only one negative is for the rooms, very average or lower for the amount you pay. There was only one chair in the room, and a padded bench, the water-view we requested barely showed the water. Best water view is from the restaurant. This hotel is not right on the water.

Very nice staff, large (King bed) comfortable and clean room which was quiet except for the person in heels walking in room above (the floors are solid surface except around the bed). Restaurant very limited in food options but the two salads they offer were very good. Very walkable--two blocks to the main downtown area which has lots of restaurants,pubs and unique shops.
