The sad part is that there would not be another place to recommend staying in the area. Portsmouth doesn't offer much. But for the business traveler, hopefully you don't have to stay long! The fitness center is in desperate need of repair. The one treadmill at its highest speed is barely even fast enough for a jog. And it skips.... More

I stayed in a King room on the fourth floor facing the street. The room was very comfortable and the view of the Kentucky hill across the river was pleasant. When you leave the room, push on the door to make sure it is latched. The one thing I did not like about the room was the toilet. It was... More

There are few hotel options in Portsmouth, OH, so I chose the Holiday Inn express over the Comfort Inn based on my previous experiences with the brands and the similar ratings on TripAdvisor. The hotel itself appear in decent condition and the lobby/restaurant pool area appear newly remodeled and modern. On the otherhand the elevator and guest room hallways reveal... More

We stayed at the Holiday Inn from Saturday 5th May until Friday 11th May and then from Sunday 13th May until Saturday 19th May 2012. The days between were spent in the Cave city area of Kentucky. Travelling from the UK, we were in Portsmouth to visit our son and his family, who live in the area. Our daughter and... More

We have been here the last three years for the Roy Rogers Festival and have been pleased with the progress as this hotel changed from an old run down Ramada to the Holiday Inn Express. Considering the shape the place was before I'm surprised it wasn't torn down but they have done a good job with the remodel. There are... More

First thing, Rich at the front desk was rude and condesending. I checked in very late, 1:00am, I was tired and didn't need the extra crap. then got a room that was hot and old with a nex coat of paint. The best feature of the hotel was the breakfast the next morning (NOT included inthe room cost). the staff... More

We only had a meal there but the staff was very accommodating to our requests for our elderly member. The lobby is very nice and is very clean. We were taking a family history visit to the area - it is the home of Branch Ricky and my husband's family.

I have been visiting this hotel approx every other month for the past year. They were heavy into renovations when I started staying here. Now the renovation is finished and its pretty typical for a Hliday Inn. The rooms are the nicest in Portsmouth-flat screen TVs and updated floor and wall coverings. The bedding is typical of Holiday Inn-very comfortable... More

This downtown location provided us with easy access to Noggins and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Although this is a downtown location, there was ample free parking. If traveling to Portsmouth, I would recommend this hotel.
