"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. 🙂"
