Prince George Hotel

"Basic room, good a/c temperature control. Great water pressure and hot water for the shower. Comfortable beds. And the pool and hot tub are in need of a bit of tlc, but they were a nice amenity and empty! Would be be nice if there was a fan in the bathroom for humidity from the shower."

"Room was very clean and seems revelry renovated, so the bathroom was spotless. It felt like I was staying at a friend’s.
