Holiday Inn Express Portsmouth - Gunwharf Quays by IHG

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was amazing. Staff very helpful. Location to outlet mall and train station perfect. The room was clean but small. Unfortunately, they had Octoberfest both nights we were there. Loud music and drunks in the open air arena kept us awake until midnight with the music and yelling. Then the music shut down but the party-goers remained shouting and laughing. We had no sleep until about 2 am both nights. If you stay here, you should request a room away from that side of the mall. I’m sure they have other venues that cause the same noise issue…"
