I recently went to the Margate, for the second time, to be part of a Harry Potter convention. It is such a lovely and pleasant place; it was a pleasure to stay there again. The rooms are well maintained and clean, and the beds very comfortable. Any issue was promptly addressed. The staff was kind and helpful. And the view... More

The hotel was part of one of the most joyous occasions of my life. I stayed in a ake view room with three other people and did not feel cramped. The rooms where lovely, the bathroom was really nice. There nothing wrong with heating or water pressure - which makes it a blissful place to stay. The staff where incredibly... More

We always return to the Margate whenever we are in New Hampshire. We love the staff and the rooms and the fascilities. The only complaint I have is that there were few outlets with a ground. Both times this year we stayed at the Margate (once in the Lake House and once in the West Building) I had to hunt... More

This was my second trip to the Margate for a convention. I was pleased we were returning because I new how wonderful the staff and resort was the first time. They astounded me by going beyond what I was anticipating! I have stayed in 5 star resorts for similar functions and had to wait for my room be given the... More

The Margate isn't a luxury hotel, but if you are expecting that at these prices you have different issues. The location is just beautiful. The way the property sprawls and encompasses several buildings is lovely. Basically every type of room you might see at a hotel is available in one of the buildings. The indoor pool is very nice and... More

I have now worked with The Margate on 2 400+ person events over the last 4 years. I will be working with them again on an event coming up in 2015. They are truly experts in quality, service, and event management. All of our plans and coordinated efforts were executed perfectly. Their service staff was fantastic and treated our guests... More

Both times I've gone to this hotel it has been very accomodating. The staff was great. The rooms are clean and spacious. There was a fridge in the room, that was awesome. The entire venue is great. The lake behind the resort is so beautiful, I wanted to sit outside all day. It's right across the street from a shopping... More

This is the first time I have been to the Margate Resort, it was an excellent experience. The value for the price is excellent, I have been to other Harry Potter conventions and felt like I was ripped off at high end resorts, however at Margate I felt like I got what I expected and more for my money. I... More

I'd never been to this part of New Hampshire--the scenery is stunning! And the staff of the Margate was unfailingly helpful, pleasant, and a real pleasure to deal with (a welcome contrast to the typical 1-800 number generic help desk you get with other places.) My only regret is that I was there out of season and it was too... More

I was here for MISTI-Con 2013 which is a Harry Potter convention that I attended with my boyfriend. We are from Canada, and hotels are a little different there, but we really enjoyed staying at the Margate. We were located in the West building, which was THE PERFECT location to be, as you would get the beautiful view of the... More
