passing through on business and stayed because Damon's is attached to the facility. The building is old, the rooms are mostly olde fashioned but adequate. On a positive the bedspreads and pillows were brandnew and sorta classy. Overall the stay was okay but somewhat overpriced. more

We have stayed both at the Portsmouth Super 8 and Days Inn Ameristay, and the Portsmouth Holiday Inn Express beats the other 2 by a mile. Even if it's a bit more in cost ($80 for 2 people with an AARP discount), this hotel is the best of the 3 this side of Portsmouth, Ohio. My wife and I come... more

This was indeed one of the worst hotels we've ever stayed in. There were four of us sharing a room and when we asked for more towels (mind you they only had two to begin with) they acted like we were going to steal them. They made us exchange the two towels we had used before giving us two fresh... more

This was our 2nd stay at this Super 8 so we new what to expect since we'd already been there before. Our first time, October 2007, we had a room on the 2nd floor. The first visit our room had a sink and counter in the bathroom where the toilet and shower were located, making the bathroom cramped. The counter... more

We were in town to handle some family matters. We stayed first at another hotel and later moved to the Ramada. The pool, lobby and restaurant have all been remodeled and are lovely. We stayed in a newly remodeled suite and it is very nice. The veiw of the Ohio River and new bridge is terrific. Although our visit to... more

No upkeep, broken light covers over main front desk, water leaking from ice maker and mold and rotted wall and wood around area of ice maker, had to move 3 times in four day stay. loose shower rods rotted caulking, plugged dirty A/C air filters loose shower nozzles, broken cover plates. water dripping from a/c unit in breakfast room they... more

After checking in and going to our room, we went to the Ponderosa Restaurant, a short distance away. The Ponderosa is not even listed on the Days Inn website under "Restauants", although it's the closest restaurant to the motel, next to the KFC, which is in front of the Ponderosa. The Days Inn, Portsmouth, Ohio, website reports to have a... more

I stayed here for one night on business in the area. While I'm sure that at one time this hotel was probably the "Crown Jewel" of Portsmouth it has seen better days. The room was clean and comfortable but was circa 70's in decor. However for 70 bucks a night it will work. more

A very nice, clean room and a more than decent breakfast buffet. The only problem was, we selected this establishment because they supposedly had a pool. Their pool area was closed for renovation. So we were disappointed and perhaps because there was no pool, paid a little more than the accomodations might warrant. Still, not a huge disaster by any... more

i was very happy with the accomodations. this was by far the cleanest and friendliest hotel i've stayed in in a long time. do yourself a favor and pass by the others in portsmouth because this is the place to stay. more

i was booked into this dump by a company that i was in town working for. they had never stayed there, so i can't fault them. on monday when i checked in, i couldn't believe my eyes. this place has not been updated since it was a holiday in in the 70's. it had an odor that i can't describe... more

The beds smelled, the toilet was cracked, and, worst of all, the ceiling in the bathroom was covered with dark black mold--not just spots, either--big patches of mold. When I complained to the manager on duty, he said there was nothing he could do because none of the other available rooms would be any better. It was awful! I will... more

We stayed 5 nights in June, and it wasn't too bad, but I'll look for someplace else first. The room was clean, but the blankets had holes in them. The shower was good quality. The carpet was threadbare, and there was a bit of a smell that I couldn't quite pin down. Also, under the window the wall was just... more

would not go back!!! do not want honest law abiding citizens to protect themselves. Holder of a michigan carry concealed lic. (CPL) cancelled my reservation and went to the (holiday Inn )they had no problem with my gun in there hotel, in fact it made the front desk happy to know i was a safe customer more

My husband and I spent a weekend at Shawnee State Park. It proved to be a relaxing weekend retreat. We stayed at the lodge and found the room to be large and clean (though the walls were a bit thin). The park offered nice walking trails and several small lakes/ponds. The indoor pool area was nice though it seemed we... more

First of all went to front desk to check in and was asked if I was returning with my dog I told the person at the front desk no he looked at me in the way that he did not believe me and I told him that I do not always travel with my dog he said he wanted to... more

When we go back to Portsmouth, Ohio to visit family we stay at the Holiday Inn Express. We travel to Ohio about 4 times a year and we stayed at the Ramada, Super 8 and the the Holiday Inn in Wheelersburg but this is the best place for the money. We have being staying at the same place since it... more
