Perfect Hotel!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/8/07
My husband and I celebrated his birthday by staying at the Hotel George this past weekend (1/6/07) and the hotel was perfect. Upon arrival, we easily checked in, were given a room facing the main street with plenty of natural sunlight. There was a night turndown service, which was unexpected, and the room was outstanding. Flat screen TV's, marble bath, separate tub and shower, comfortable bed, complimentary bathrooms, stocked mini-bar...I could go on and on. The pictures don't do it justice - the fitness room has individual flat screen tv's at each cardio machine, and provides headphones for your listening pleasure. AWESOME! A short walk to Union Station - very nice. Upon check out, the hotel manager remembered that I had stated when checking in that it was my husband's birthday. The hotel gave us a complimentary bottle of wine to celebrate - which they would have left in our room, but we had the "Do no disturb" sign out. That was going above and beyond anything I expected!
Please remember, you are staying at a hotel in the heart of a downtown area - there is going to be noise!! As for safety - again, you are in a downtown area. Yes, there are homeless people, but they are not intrusive or hostile. I did not use the valet service because there was no need, there was ample street parking, which was extremely safe.
I will definitely be returning to this hotel for years to come!
