As it was a wedding party, it should’ve been lovely not a nightmare
Pros:

I went to the George Inn to meet family members who were attending a wedding at Selby Abbey, we chose to stay at the George Inn as it was obviously very near

Cons:

We were told that another company had taken it over and were in the middle of refurbishing the outside.We had no Wi-Fi ,apparently it had been cut off as the previous owners had not paid the bill,and the new owners had not reinstated it ! that was extremely annoying. We were also believing that there would be breakfast, but there was no breakfast or any other food for that matter even though they had a menu in the Rooms .We had to walk right down the high street to get any food!! , and some of us were not very mobile due to poor health.My room was reasonable,but the en suite was awful, the sink had so many cracks in it I was surprised it held any water. I only had 1 shower, as it had mould in the corners and on the ceiling . I really thought the floor was going to collapse that was in front of the shower as it was soggy , I did inform the manager of these issues . We as the Wedding guests that stayed at the George were all very upset about the many problems,what should have been lovely stay certainly was not . I would like to be reimbursed for the service that I was expecting

Good location, lovely staff, very friendly and helpful but would have liked to have had at least breakfast catered for.
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the room was nice and clean.

Cons:

No meals being served. No teabags in the room, had to ask for them, also could have done with a bigger mug in the room.
