However, the staff were friendly and the rooms were generally clean and spacious with some offering gorgeous views of the river and the historic sandstone bridge. On the downside, there were instances where spare pillows and shower razors were found to be dirty and bathroom soap dispensers weren't replenished. Some guests also noted that the hotel's furnishings and decor are a bit dated and could use some refurbishment. Overall, the George Hotel may be an excellent option for those who appreciate a clean room and friendly staff, but don't mind its slightly tired facilities.
