Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This is not a proper hotel but functions as an annex of the George, across the road. This should be made clearer - especially as the doorman at the George would not let us in to their reception area at 10pm. The 'deluxe' double was basic, small with a dirty balcony. Poor value.
