The staff are very helpful and friendly, plenty of off street parking and good wifi. Sadly the room (206) wasn't good, needed a decent clean. There were plenty of unsightly repairs. Basically needs lots of TLC.

Great staff, not so great property

The staff were excellent. Tried very hard to assist and were very pleasant. However, the building was dated. Room was dirty, no fan in the bathroom, the ambience of the room was unpeasant. the bathroom was ill equipped. The shower didnt work so I had to take a bath, then the water didnt go down the drain, just sat there!

Anniversary stay

George Hotel was a lovely old hotel and as a lot of old hotels has no air conditioning. Our stay was during a heatwave but they did provide a fan in the room which was much appreciated. The staff were very lovely and very helpful. The food in restaurant was really good.

Step back to the 80,s

This hotel needs a lot of T.L.C looks like money has not been spent for a couple of decades on the room & stair cases. The dining area was clean & enjoyable.

This being our 3rd time we have visited The George, on the first night the shower wasn't working properly so we moved to another room. Then there was no heating or water on the next night. Not being able to wash was awful. The staff were excellent and the food was very good. Management kindly compensated us for these inconveniences

Rooms are Very Tired and extremly small

Rooms are very tired and small. Chair broken, Shower in poor condition, lighting broken, wallpaper peeling off, Wifi very slow. Not a pleasant experience. Staff were excellent when I spoke to them about the room, however unable to resolve. Would not stop here again as the price charged does not reflect the room.

Better than sleeping on a park bench

Firstly i certainly can't complain about the staff, they were fantastic. The hotel itself was a bit of a dump. There floors were uneven and every step you made was greated with creaking floor boards. The decor was old and tired with various ceacks in the walls, ceilings, doorframes etc. Bathrooms were usable but ceratinly in need of modernisation. Overall the hotel itself needs a full refurb but it beats sleeping in your car or on a park bench.
