King George Review

King George
$$, Union Square
User Rating: *** 3.4
Fodor's Review:
Service and hospitality have been points of pride at this hotel since its 1914 opening, when room rates started at $1 a night. Now, compact rooms are attractively furnished in classic English style with walnut furniture. The front-desk and concierge staff are adept at catering to your every whim: they can book anything from a Fisherman's Wharf tour to a dinner reservation. For a slightly higher rate on weekends, you can enjoy breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening bar service next to the lobby.

Small and eccentric, but the people are good
Posted by Ryan from Brooklyn, NY on 6/24/06
I made a reservation at the King George Hotel at the recommendation of a friend of mine, who stays here semi-regularly when he's in town for business. It was in a perfect location for me, as a conference I was in town for was less than 5 blocks away. First, the good: The service is very friendly and responsive, and ready to help if you need it. There's 24-hour room service (though it's fairly limited fare, consisting mostly of greasy griddle type food), it's quiet, and there is an in-house bar/restaurant. However, there are a few negatives. The rooms are extremely small; my room really felt like something you'd find in London, with 85% of the floor space being taken up by the bed. The ceilings are very low, and the color scheme is a little weird, especially considering the random quotations that are painted on the walls by the door. Plus, I had problems with my bathroom; the pipes made weird gurgling sounds almost constantly, and my toilet wouldn't flush at all the first night I stayed here. (Not to mention the absolutely dismal water pressure in the shower... there's no bathtub, either.)RATING: 3.4
