Contactless check-in and departure. Staff very responsive though to questions and concerns via text. Great location, very near shops, music venues, and a variety of dining options. ParkMobile app great tool for on-street parking all over.

This is a very unusual place! It must have been a home at some point and has been changed to simply bedrooms. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. But there is no lobby, front desk, etc. You simply get a code to get into the building and into your room. It's a little strange but it was fun to try something different.

Interesting set up with keypad code to access main door and room. Handy car park at rear, need instructions to use tv, clean and modern refurbished room and bathroom with hardly any original features in this old building. We stayed in Cathedral room which is up narrow steep staircase, facing the road. Handy location for Portsmouth with the stress of parking removed.

Very cute and convenient!

Stayed in the Sea Witch for a 25th anniversary getaway. It's a very cute space on the second floor with a great reading nook. It was a pleasant walk (~15min) into the downtown area for shopping and dinner. Owner was very responsible and flexible with our plans. Getty Bagels is 50 yards away and a great option to get a coffee and something to eat in the morning. We would definitely come back.

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.
