The hotel had everything we needed, close to the train station and numerous restaurants and retailers. However, we chose to eat our evening meal in the charming hotel restaurant. It was a delicious and plentiful, home cooked meal.
Our room had a comfortable bed, lots of natural light and a large, full glass shower, which is difficult to find in conventional hotels these days.
I wish to commend the hotel staff, in particular Ms. Gayle, at the reception desk, who went out of her way to return a valuable, person item, my eyeglasses. Without hesitation, she immediately put them in the mail. I received them within 24 hours, averting a holiday disaster.
Thank you George Hotel, you truly made us feel at home!

When i returned home, i noticed that the amount that had been taken from my bank account was more than the itemised invoice. I challenged this but was told there was nothing they can do about it. It looked as though someone had been charging drinks to my room. Very disappointed. I won't be returning.
