Property is beautiful and check in/out totally painless. The room was great but I have 2 minor complaints. Need better lighting for reading, and I’d like a clock I could see at night.

Exquisite and beautifully maintained garden between the inn and parking lot. Large, well-appointed room needs a dresser ( not just two drawers below the bathroom sink) and a full-length mirror. Lack of innkeeper interaction was unusual.

Our room was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We loved the window seat in the little nook between the bedroom and bathroom. The stairs up to our room were steep and difficult with a suitcase so be warned. The garden area was beautiful.

The room and grounds were beautifully kept. The room was more like a suite. I don't know if they are all like that. We had a private screened in porch with seating, a lovely bedroom area with a King bed and soft. luxurious sheets. There was also a sitting or small living room area with a refrigerator and a beautifully done, renovated bathroom. The Inn was walking distance to the center of town. We highly recommend this Inn. It was a true find.

Amazing garden getaway - will be back

Best vacation spot we have ever been to. The Inn is private, quiet, well designed and cared for. The garden is glorious and was soothing to our city-weary brains. We will definitely be returning to Martin Hill Inn. Portsmouth has so much to offer for a relaxing getaway. I recommend staying at least 3 nights.

You got to stay

To tell you the truth I didn’t want to stay at an i have had bad experiences at a few inns in the past. But the Martin Inn has changed my mind from the gardens to the room the Martin inn is far above any inn I have stayed at in the past and it is not that far of a walk from downtown Portsmouth. The Martin inn has off street parking in the back as you walk to your room you go through a wonderfully kept garden which made my wife jealous. Which we spend a little while in on our last night there. I will definitely be back in the future. Thank you to the Martin inn for a wonderful place to stay keep up the great work.
