What People are saying
Clean and convenient but dated
ukdawgon 23/08/2017 19:56We stayed one night here on our way up to Maine. The room was spacious and clean - though very dated. We did not use the pools, but did see them both and they are smaller than they appear on the website. If I am back in the area, I would probably find somewhere else to stay.
Nice accomodatioons
Diane Won 21/08/2017 20:17Stayed at the Best Western Plus at Portsmouth Circle. Very nice. Clean, friendly staff, comfy beds. Not your typical rock hard pillow. Easy access to the highway and downtown Portsmouth. No sales tax in NH and easy access to Maine. Would recommend a stay here if your in the area.
Good Value

Pretty Good
PFDSWolfmanon 18/08/2017 01:14Checked into the Best Western Plus Portsmouth mid August for 4 nights. The hotel was neat and clean.
The roundabout was right next door, which was great for all 3 meals.
We traveled with our 2 kids, we were able to have a crib sent up to the room. The room came with a mini fridge and a microwave which was extremely helpful with the youngsters.
Would recommend to anyone with kids for sure.
Great for an overnight stay.
ToastAlohaon 17/08/2017 21:47I've been to Portsmouth a number of times and have mostly stayed in hotels that are right in the market area. Due to a last minute decision to go to a concert at Prescott Park, it was hard to find a room within the center of town. Thus, The Best Western. We arrived late in the evening around 10:30, and there was not a parking spot to be found. There were many for the 'diner restaurant' next to it but hotel guests are not allowed to park in those stalls.
Checking in was very fast. We had two cars and were told that we had to park in their parking lot extension that was on its own behind the side of the hotel. There were no other cars except for ours which we parked under the lamp post. It just didn't appear to be safe. I decided that they must have cameras or security that makes the rounds outside during the evening hours. None-the-less, our cars were perfectly fine in the morning.
The room was very clean and comfortable. I'm the kind that wipes down everything before I settle in with antibacterial wipes; so cleanliness is a big plus for me. The easy chair seemed to be somewhat worn with the material wrinkled from use on the seat and back cushions. The bathroom was very clean with a good amount of towels, soap, shampoo, etc. A very small coffee (Keurig type) was available in the bathroom. The refrigerator was a bit larger than the ones you would normally find in hotels. We were able to put the items from our cooler inside which was great!
The mattress was super comfortable with pillows that would give anyone a choice depending on likes/kinds. I had a great night's sleep! The air conditioner was loud compared to other hotels/rooms I've stayed in. It did its job though and kept the place cool.
We had a AAA rate and it was close to $160 before tax, etc. So, not the least expensive but definitely a good rate considering it's on season at the moment and many hotels ask for a lot more.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. Given its close proximity to the market area of Portsmouth you'd still save money even after paying for an all day garage in town by staying here. I'll definitely stay here again.
