"What a unique and wonderful experience! The continental breakfast is very ample and delicious. I had the goat cheese and blueberry quiche, and there are 5 outstanding complimentary breakfasts to choose from. Upon arrival, the dining area was decked out from a weekend Alice in Wonderland dinner. A beautiful and creative display. The staff was extremely accommodating. The bed was comfortable; the room a classy Victorian style. The Silver Fountain is an adventure! "

"Overall, the hotel was fine. It was weird to stay in a hotel on top of a movie theater, but kind of cool. I was disappointed that there was not a microwave on site and the coffee was hard to figure out and frustrating not to have someone on the premises to help. Nice location and easy to get to everywhere in the heart of Portsmouth. 🙂"
