The Thaxter Hotel was good (not great). We like the easy access and check-in/check-out process. The rooms are clean and quirky, bathrooms are nice but the bed was pretty uncomfortable. We picked this hotel based on its proximity to The Library restaurant which was literally right around the corner. No views from the rooms but we only stayed one night so it was no big deal. It is an easy walk to just about anything in Portsmouth (a great little town). I don't know that I would rush back to the Thaxter but it served its purpose for us. The coffee setup in the lobby was perfect and accessible 24 x 7. I would say overall our experience was good, not great! :)

Cute and stylish hotel
The hotel lobby is really cute. Rooms were stylish and comfortable. Staff was friendly and very helpful. I liked getting updates and having text access for questions. We really enjoyed our short visit in this hotel. Also, Portsmouth was a really cute city, walkable and with tons of shops and restaurants nearby. Very happy with our stay.
