Filthy rooms room 4 & 8
Pros:

Central hotel- no parking. But there is payable parking nearby.
Check in was good.
Food was good.
One polite member of staff at reception. One polite waitress.

Cons:

One member of staff extremely rude,
Both ours rooms 4 & 3 were filthy. Black mould are dirty.
Asked for the bathroom to be cleaned on arrival the girl beginning with S was helpful and pleasant. She apologised and said they would do and clearly didn’t. Went to speak to another lady and her attitude was rude, saying it was the shower door silcone that needed replaced. It was clearly more than that from the images, the dust on skirting boards, the chair was filthy, under beds had bottle tops so beds were never moved. I said to the girl with the darker hair up (bigger girl) we wouldn’t be back to stay in hotel dirty. Her response was “that’s fine then” never experienced such a rude member of staff. If that’s how your speak to guests she needs some customer service training. We won’t be back and wouldn’t recommend.

Bedroom was a good size.
Food was OK

Cons:

Despite the bathroom being quite large the shower was a tiny cubicle. There was a lot of street noise that the window didn't block.

2 night stay at The George
Pros:

The place had lots of character, the staff were very friendly, spotlessly clean, big room with everything you need and the shower was very powerful, loved it.

Cons:

Maybe the room could use a bit of a refresh, nothing too major, lick of paint, just a few little touches

Great location.
Pros:

Paid for breakfast was very good. Huge portion. Building in need of a serious upgrade. Bed was very comfortable but the room very dated. Bar prices and food very reasonable compared to other vendors in town.
