I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offers spacious and modern rooms combined with a classic charm that really sets it apart. The breakfast was exceptional, and the staff were attentive, though I did miss having cereal options. The parking situation was a bit inconvenient, as I had to park quite a distance away, but overall, it truly is a hidden gem in Portsmouth.
