About
The George Hotel is a historic gem with plenty of character, but it shows its age. Guests love the central location and the friendly staff, but many complain about the dated rooms, lack of a lift, and inconsistent food quality. It is a great spot for history buffs, but maybe not for those looking for modern luxury.
