First of all, we had trouble finding the hotel, it had no name on it. We eventually found it and and parked in cramped car park (a planning issue apparently). Room, smart, tidy, clean after recent refurbishment. Staff friendly and helpful. I guess it was low occupancy when we were there as we were the only ones at breakfast. Atmosphere was a little dead, for a large hotel. I imagine that in the future with the finished refurbishment and more guests it will be a smart place to stay. We would stay again. Right in town, very convenient.

We stayed one night here and would be happy to stay more.

The hotel has just had a refit and it looks lovely - the bedroom was nicely decorated with a good sized bed with a comfy mattress. The en-suite was similarly decorated and fitted - the shower was both hot and powerful.

Our room was at the front of the hotel, but there was no noise to keep us awake. The double glazing was good and the blinds were dark keeping out the morning sun.

The staff were pleasant and helpful.

Breakfast was nice, though the cooked breakfast was a little pricey (£10.50 each). So they have dropped a mark on this. Everything else was just right.

Our wedding reception and evening party went without a hitch. We found that all the staff especially Steven (function manager) & Rita could not do enough for us all, anything & everything we asked for these two people delivered it.
Absolutely nothing was too much to ask for, the sit down meal was excellent as was the evening buffet. We would personally like to thank both Rita & Steven for there help throughout our wedding preperation, our day was fantastic and we really appreciate there efforts.

We cannot comment on the accomodation at the George Hotel, as we all stopped at the Royal hotel (sister hotel) 100 yards away.

after travelling 5hrs we arrived at the hotel with friends, only to be told that there was only one room available when we had booked two, so our friends had to use the sister hotel,. After a bit of a disagreement with the receptionist over this were given our room key, room 23, .The corridor was badly lit properly to hide the flaking paint and dingy carpet, the room we were given was horrible, grubby greyish towels wallpaper hanging off walls ,stinking carpet, but the bathroom was the worst , the light was broken so only the shaving mirror light was working, no handle on door just a hole with the bar which used to hold the door knobs on, if you sat on the toilet you could see the bed through the hole, the sink was chipped in 4 places and there were stains from the tap drips,. the windows in bathroom wouldn't shut and were plane glass. we could here a constant loud high pinched bleeping noise coming from the smoke alarm .
I was so unimpressed that I went to reception and asked to be moved to a room that was fit to sleep in , the receptionist asked why ,when I told her the reasons stated above her reaction was " well i can take the battery out of the smoke alarm if you like" she also said they were refurbishing which I found out later off one of the staff was not the case at all and its what they say to customers as an excuse for the poor quality,
We decided to ring around to find another hotel and luckily we got into the premier inn for £5 cheaper per night, . I would not recommend this hotel (The George) to anyone it is appalling, If there was a minus rating it would be-3...
