Good hotel in a good location

My daughter and I stayed at the Carlton George for two nights. Overall, the hotel was great. It’s in a good location with good service. The only issue we had was parking. There was none and we had to park up the street which wasn’t too bad except for when we were dragging our suitcases. The breakfast was just okay…we found it pricey for what it offered. I would recommend for anyone not driving.

Staff was spectacular. Made check in a breeze and were very informative and knowledgeable about questions we had. The room we stayed in could use some TLC based on the price we paid to stay.

Pillow disappointment.

We only used the hotel as a base for a couple of nights so didn’t use the restaurant . We upgraded to a club room which was roomy and bed itself was comfortable enough but the pillows were very small and flat and didn’t even come up to the base of headboard and the pillows didn’t fit the pillow cases which were of a normal size. We did mention this to reception when checking out who said they would mention it to housekeeping . We have stayed here a couple of times before but not in a club room and didn’t have a problem with the pillows then so I was quite surprised that the pillows didn’t match up to the upgrade. Had we been staying longer I would have mentioned it after the Ist night.

The hotel was cute. Really awesome pub next door. The room perks were great. I'd say the only minus one this property is the closest roads that go by the hotel are taxi and bus only until a certain point at night. I only found this out from a local, otherwise I might have tried to drive there, which would have been impossible. Not even sure where I would have parked.
