George Hotel

"Staff make this hotel exceptional. All are warm, friendly, helpful, caring, and genuinely, and I can't do enough for you. Cleanliness is outstanding in every area of the hotel. The dining room for our evening meal was lovely. Breakfast and dinner was beautiful; presented well and cooked perfectly. Incredibly comfortable bed! Great parking which is included in hotel stay. Unfortunately, the aesthetics let the hotel down dramatically. The decor and furniture are dated and tired. There was visible damage to the bath exterior in my room, bathroom tiles have been replaced in a section above the bath, which obviously, don't match the rest. The dark wood, old furniture in the bedroom is scratched and faded in areas, and the curtains look old, dark, and have loose edges on the tie-backs. Window frames in the bedroom were in a bad condition and require sanding back and repainting. I was unable to open the windows, however, the street was quite noisy quite late at night and from around 0500"

"Good location. Within walking distance from the train station. Also, very close to the town centre which is good for shopping and pubs and restaurants. Unfortunately, as it is an old building there's no lift or escalator. So it can be quite tedious to carry a heavy luggage because all the rooms are on the upper level. Otherwise, everything is perfect."

"The pint Diet Coke is a good value, but a keen eye has to watch any cooking. There is a tendency to over cook fried foods, almost like the fryer isn't being monitored or the cook has limited experience with frying. The food has a good presentation, but on my last visit my chicken strips & Halloumi fries were near burnt. I should have sent them back. Service is pretty good, but the wait staff seem moderately stressed or anxious. The location is warm & convenient. Very traditional."

"Lunched here with a friend today and we were both so impressed with the food, service and ambience. Every member of staff we spoke to were so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and we were pleasantly surprised at the modest bill. The setting was lovely (dining area to the left of the bar), although the decor was a little tired, the tables were beautifully presented and it was spotless. We left feeling really good about our experience and as ladies who do lunch, will most assuredly be back. Thank you all."
