Pros +
- Great choice of amenities. Room was large with large bathroom.She loved it
- Cozy and easily accessible
- Nice old inn with a lot of charm. Great location. Loved the bed & pillows. I was only there one night so the comfortable bed & good night’s sleep was a priority.
Cons -
- Lack of person contact upon arrival.
- Unable to adjust heat in bedroom. Temperature was 80 degrees in the middle of winter. Not crazy about the style of furniture. Too much like yard sale decor.
- As someone traveling alone, I would have liked the additional security of a lock on the inside of the door/room.

The Water Street Inn was the perfect place for a little quiet and relaxing getaway. I loved the cozy vibes and all the beautiful decor. Walking distance to some great little shops and food. Also an easy walk over the bridge to Portsmouth, NH. Can't wait to go back and experience this location in different seasons.

Room was very nice !
Diidnt know it was totally keyless Did not have wifi anorther person staying there told us how to get in & find our room ! There was no samples of shampoo conditioner . We were not going to pay$ 14.00 we were not planing on staying . Inn was lovely ! Tho
Everything about the Water Street Inn was perfect for our stay there.The amenities were great.The room was beautiful and the bed was super comfy.Friendly staff was an additional plus thank you for a wonderful stay!
That we didn't stay longer!
Whoever styled this property, both for aesthetics and guests' comfort, did an outstanding job! Bonus for us is that we visited in mid-October, so the property included fun Halloween/Fall decor. Staff was incredibly thoughtful and friendly.
Great location, beautiful room and great amenities in the main area. Loved the snacks and coffee. A nice touch.
Cute with a modern twist. Cozy. Good location.
Musty smell in room. Separate spigots for hot and cold water (while quaint, not practical).
Location was excellent - near enough to Kittery and Portsmouth but quiet as well. Very quaint and welcoming property - lovely sitting room on the first floor. Bedroom perfect size and bathroom was very functional.
Didn't realize we were on 3rd floor so getting bags up the stairs was a mild challenge.
The inn was very clean and well appointed. Rooms were comfortable and had all the extra touches one could ask for. The location was ideal for walking to both Kittery and Portsmouth town centers. We loved being near the water with the amazing bridges and harbor. Although it is a "self-serve" inn, communication with the manager was consistent and friendly.
A hook or towel rod near the sink would have been handy. I do miss IRL contact with inn-keepers and am a little disappointed that we didn't meet in person.
It was a beautiful room and I enjoyed having the kitchen in the suite.
The hairdryer in room 7 was a bit beaten up and had cracked components. The pumps on the hand soap did not work properly.
Very convenient to Portsmouth, lovely rooms and commons area. Attentive staff
Only drawback was a very loud party somewhere close by that didn't end until 3 AM.
I was traveling by myself and didn't want to stay in a cheap hotel chain. I wanted to feel safe and in a nice clean, cozy place and my room as perfect! I was in room #4. I didn't really see anyone else since I just used my phone number to open the door to the place and to my room. Super easy!
The only thing that wasn't clear was whether I was allowed to use the shampoo, conditioner - they all looked brand new and there was a note about prices. I assume I could have used them but there was an option to buy them and I didn't want to do that! Minor thing!
We had a cozy room in this beautifully appointed inn. The location was really convenient to both Kittery and Portsmouth. Beverages and snacks that were available around the clock were a nice touch. I was a little skeptical of staying at a place with a mostly "virtual" staff but everything went super smoothly and we had a very nice stay.
This is a really minor issue, but we'd recommend a larger shower curtain in the bathroom.
Location close to Downtown Portsmouth restaurants and night life
The Inn is beautifully decorated and squeaky clean. Staff was professional and polite. Complimentary water& juice, coffee& tea, sweet & salty snacks were a welcome surprise.
The check in process was great and their staff was wonderful with communication. Everything you could need was available in the common area and using your phone # to use as code for main entrance and room entrance is brilliant!

Very well décorated confortable and clean room.Nice lounge to have a coffee in the morning Short but nice stay!
