Riverside Hotel

1) Receptionists- Cynthia and Valda are very helpful. They offered invaluable information, checked on bus schedule and fare for me. 2) Owners- Steven and Susan. They run the business well. They pay attention to details. I can see their labor of love in the design and amenities of the room. 3) 2 - welcoming bottle of waters in the room. 4) Best restaurant in town. I saw many restaurants there were nothing more than a shack but this restaurant is a real restaurant. You don’t need to eat anywhere else. 5) River next the property . I saw Steven took out his fishing rod to fish there. It is very cool. 6) Power outage during my stay but no problem. Because Steven has a power generator. If you stay in other hotel, you will sweat but not in Riverside Hotel so you can rest assured that you have air cond. This is the best stay to stay in Portsmouth. Don’t rush. Spend a few days there and enjoy the ambience.

Friendly proprietors, very clean. Nice big twin bed room and kitchen / sitting area. Beds so hard that I had to check that it had a mattress, not just a box spring. Shower hard to figure out, couldn't get more than a trickle of hot water. Rum punch in the restaurant stingy with the rum... It's worth driving 15 minutes to the restaurant at Toucari, Keepin it Real.
