I stayed there for 2 weeks and it was bad for many reasons. 1) The hotel is filthy: During the 2 weeks cleaners didn’t clean my room even once. It was dirty already when I arrived: dirt on windowsill, a lot of mould in the shower, minor dirt on bed sheets. The room is lined with a fitted carpet (so gross by definition!) which wasn’t even thoroughly hoovered. I arrived on Friday. By Tuesday the bins in my room were overflowing. No one empties the bins or gives you toilet paper or new towels unless you explicitly ask or put your full bin in the corridor. They do absolute bare minimum. I also…

The George Canning reopened on Wednesday 25 August after a major refurbishment. I am pleased to report that they have started serving real ale again. Two cask beers on handpump when I visited: Doom Bar and Timothy Taylor's Landlord. And the Landlord is a bargain at £3.35 for a pint. Lots of outdoor seating most of it covered. Four screens showing sport. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Great pub. It has a pool table, a dart board and live music. The staff are amazing. A truly welcoming and warm atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend giving it a visit!

Stayed here for a Saturday night in May. Arrived just after 3pm, which was check-in time, only to find that the room hadn't been cleared, so had to wait another 30 mins to check in which was frustrating, given that we had an appointment locally. Were given a lemonade to drink whilst waiting. Friendly staff behind the counter, but no explanation as to what was going on. Finally got to the room, dropped bags and left. Noticed that there was a rubbish bin with someone else's rubbish left on the table which wasn't pleasant. Returned later that night to discover that the the light in the…

This place was done up within the last couple of years and the interior is actually quite nice. It has an unfortunately-positioned cheap-looking quiz machine which dominates the view from the street and makes it look worse than it is. I went to watch the second half of a football match so I wasn't there long but the Diet Coke I ordered was very weak - the postmix needed changing or adjusting. I didn't eat but the pizzas are.progided by Basilico, which are decent when I have had them elsewhere.
