2. I guess my only criticism is that the breakfast is limited, just pastries, cereal and toast with a hard boiled egg, but this seems ubiquitous when I travel to the US, hotel breakfasts just aren't so great.

6. I couldn't have asked for a finer place for such a special occasion, and after all the sites and searching that I had done - for the price, I think you would be hard-pressed to find a location that offers the experience of The Penthouse Room at The Upham Hotel's Country House.
