We would never stay at the “not so great” George!
Pros:

It was ok, nothing special

Cons:

Having to walk up 3 flights of stairs with luggage to a mediocre room. Rude, unfriendly reception staff.

Very busy, so not in the room very much, still we couldn’t wait to leave.
Pros:

great location, free parking, very helpful staff. The bed was comfortable and a decent desk for working.

Cons:

Dreary, shabby room. Dusty furniture, peeling paint, broken screen, poor lighting, one towel rack despite loads of wall space in the bathroom, no hooks for robes, a jutting and dangerous ceiling in the shower as it must have been retrofitted into a gables roof. Breakfast was adequate, but not much of a selection and everything was empty when we came down at 9. It was refilled, but it took a while. This is hardly a 5 star hotel. A 3 star at best and our room should not be in their inventory at all.

Misleading rating.
Pros:

I wondered if the price was too good to be true for such a highly rated hotel and it definitely was, as this property is no higher than a 3 star. The staff were certainly gracious and helpful, but the hotel has seen better days. Our room was dreary and in shabby condition. Not sure what the actual vintage of the furniture is, but it looked like it came from a used furniture store. There was a large dresser which also housed the tv that was about 5 feet high. The center portion of the top was dusted, but not the sides at the back, even though it was easy enough to reach. The paint was peeling all down the wall next to one of the windows and we had to kill a bee when we opened a window and didn’t initially see that the screen was improperly installed. Perhaps the worse was the bathroom. A good size but awful. Despite ample wall space, just one towel rack on the bathroom door and no hooks for robes or a place for hand towels. The only shelf for vanity cases was the toilet tank. The shower was under a gabled roof which slanted down right in front of the of the shower head. My husband and I are tall and both of us hit our heads on the sharp edge of the indented ceiling which came down in front of the shower head. Also, there was not a separate switch for the very loud fan which came on if you turned on the bathroom light, regardless if it was needed. If we hadn’t already lugged our suitcases up 1 1/2 flight of stairs and hadn’t been in a rush to get ready for an evening reservation we would have asked for another room. I will say that the bed was comfortable and my husband was happy with the desk, but the lighting was poor. Breakfast was adequate.

Pros:

It’s a beautiful old building very well maintained. Exceptional sizes and cleanliness to the rooms and the whole building . It is a very central location, easy walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The parking lot is a bit in the small side so we parked on the street the first night. It’s a very quiet hotel and I would recommend it to anyone

Decent hotel with the best location!
Pros:

Best location and decent breakfast!

Cons:

Reception staff could've been nicer. Rooms were pretty hot at night - we couldn't figure out the AC. It would turn on every 30 mins or so and it was extremely loud.
