Worst Hotel I've Ever Stayed At
Do not stay here! The new owners are not spending money on improvements. We went through 3 different rooms and all were very dirty. We saw heavily stained rugs, dust and dirt on vanities and hairs on floors and walls. I have no problem when a hotel houses local underprivileged persons but they shouldn't be beside full paying vistor guests. When you see pumpkins and plants in windows of hotel rooms, you know the rooms are rented by the month. I have stayed at this hotel for many years as I am a salesman and haven't seen anything as dirty ever. The location is convenient but not worth staying at any price. The 3rd room we were showed had no smoke detectors!

Little bit sketchy. Lots of people were outside all night. The room wasn’t bad. Bathroom looked newly renovated. Bed was comfy.

Came here due to sold out options in Portsmouth & pics they posted online. This place could be way better if they put effort into cleaning and renovating (not the cheap route). Get rid of the idle people living there unless that’s the standard you want for the property. The staff was polite amidst complaints and the location is actually great! Was very nervous parking my vehicle there because of the idle and loud people in the back. My room wasn’t too bad it was fairly clean minus the dust, but other rooms were terrible.

He did allow early check in. Our room smelled like someone smoked in it. The pool was closed and that was why we booked there. I smoke alarm went off every 5 minutes until I had enough at 3am and make them take it down. Obviously not much is or was up to code or even looked after on a regular basis. The odor in the place was something I never smelled before. Place was quiet and in downtown that is all I have to say positively. I tried to call the place 10 times no one can answer the phone. After the guy came in to take down the smoke alarm he left his phone in our room. I had to go get it for him.

I should have read the reviews I do not recommend this facility I did not even stay after a friend checked in and said the room was nothing of what the pictures looked like because it was absolutely filthy. The floors were dirty and there was drug addicts hanging out in the front of the hotel. It was absolutely nothing like the pictures online! Very furious!!! I had to pay for a room for 2 nights and was charged over $400 for nothing! I did not did not stay due to the horrid conditions of the rooms. Do not recommend this place for anyone

This was a terrible experience! The rooms were DIRTY. My first room was outside, directly adjacent to the parking lot. the room was dirty and I felt unsafe with random individuals lurking in the parking lot continuously. I asked for a refund as I did not feel comfortable there, and they told me it would likely not be possible. Out of convenience I settled for a room change - I was changed to an indoor room that was equally as dirty with a foul odor, but I did feel safer inside.

Dont WASTE your money or time!
I'd give it a zero but its not an option. The rate I paid for a 1 king bed and a double was a rip off. My king room had a big burn hole in the carpet. A big hole in the door guard on the wall. The headboard was stained and ragged. The baseboard had dead bug remains. The lamp was shabbly put together. The toilet lifted everytime you got up. The power went off the morning of my brother's memorial service until some time that evening. The pool was closed due to the poor ph balance with cloudy water so my granddaughters couldnt swim. The breakfast buffet had a few slices of bread and bagels and 4 dried up apples. The power to use the toasters was off. Major disappointment for a property to be in the heart of downtown Dover. The only thing I can say nice was the staff was polite when greeting you. Also watch out for the little boy riding his bike all over the parking lot! I think he's the housekeeper's kid.

The front desk manager was on the speaker phone talking while trying to deal with me.
The power was out & was not turned on until 4 hours later.
