I wish I could say better things about this hotel, but everyone needs to know about my horrible experience at The Hotel George. It's a cute, botique hotel close to Union Station, but I'm sure there are so many better options in D.C. The Restaurant is expensive and hours are inconvenient for business travelers. Parking is only valet. The bellman is also the valet, so you have to allow about 10 minutes to get your car.

The absolute worst night-While sleeping at 2 AM, I was woken up by a fire alarm. We all exited the building. We sat outside in the cold for one hour while the Fire Department arrived. Not a single word from hotel staff about what was going on or anything. All hotel guests just sat outside watching in awe. We went back inside the hotel with-again-not a single explanation from hotel staff. I woke up the next morning to absolutely no water-couldn't take a shower or use the sink. The fire was in the water room. Absolutely terrible. There are also billing issues that I'm still trying to resolve with them. There's only one person you can talk to about billing and he never answers his phone, so you're constantly playing phone tag. Lots of options in D.C. Don't pick this one.

I wish I could be more enthusiastic about this hotel but the only selling point is the proximity to Union Station. Terrible coffee and noise at night did not make for a pleasant stay.

I was more than pleased with my recent stay at the Hotel George. My GPS took my right to the front door where we were able to get valet parking, luggage service, and check in all within just a couple minutes. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. The bathroom was larger than some hotel rooms I have been in. We ate brunch at the bistro and it was out of this world. And the best part, the location. I will definitely be back and I will definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.

I stayed for a weekend in February 08.

As a hotel I felt the George was very good - well equipped rooms, stylish restaurant/bar and courteous staff at a reasonable price. On this basis I would stay again. I had no problems with the issues raised by previous posters, though I did have a room at the front of the building.

The only note of caution I would add is the location. It is perfect for Capitol Hill and Union Station, though somewhat desolate in the evenings and weekends, when the area is almost empty.
