Pros:

It’s a pretty hotel- also old. So the rooms hear noises. There was a 10 year old overnight birthday party right above our heads- we could hear very loud stomping- we went up and told them to stop at 1:00 am. Then again at 4:30 am. There is no one at the front desk to help- and no one had told us who to call if help is needed. We were hosting our son’s baby shower the next day. So just a bummer for sure- we were exhausted from lack of sleep- and they did nothing to compensate us. Our biggest beef is that if there is no one at front desk, and it’s that old and not sound proof- don’t put a 10’year old overnight birthday party above someone else!

Pros:

The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Wine in the evening in the library was relaxing and afforded time to chat and meet new people while waiting for my daughter to arrive. Walkable dining options, the candy closet, the ice cream fridge and extended breakfast hours (7-11) all created more of a visit feel than a standard stay.

Pros:

Could use much better sound proofing. Upstairs neighbors were getting busy and left the TV on. None of that should have been audible downstairs. I had to go up at 4 in the morning and knock on their door. No staff present at checkout at 7:30 am. Definitely felt overpriced.

The George is simply the Best!
Pros:

Erika and Lily made our less than 24 hours in Montclair super memorable - they helped me organize champagne, greeted us with wine, and OMG the Candy Closet ?!?!?! Breakfast was a dream and we stayed in one of the Family Rooms which was perfect for the three of us - with great space to rest from a long flight, hang out, and get ourselves ready for a fun time in Montclair. The building and accommodation are first class and we are counting the days till we return again. So inspired by the surroundings and service...THANK YOU!

Pros:

My wife and I loved this place and we will definitely be staying there again anytime we come back to NJ. We used to live in Bloomfield NJ but now we live in Southern California, and I had to get a place for a work trip. We stayed here one night in “Steve” and one night later we came back and stayed in “Duke,” which was our favorite of the two. Super clean, upscale, and the free wine at 5pm was a nice treat. Parking was easy, and we highly recommend this spot.

Pros:

This is our second time staying at The George. We felt welcomed and safe. We LOVED it the first time so, of course, we had to make another visit. Unfortunately, this trip wasn't the same. Our bathroom smelled wet and as if it wasn't cleaned properly. Some of the towels had a brown stain and a peculiar smell.
