Located downtown in walking distance to everything. Rooms were immaculate, beds comfortable, and front desk guys (I didn't get their names, sorry) were helpful and polite. Definitely a place not only to stay, but experience.

We had a terrific three nights stay at the hotel. From the moment we walked in, we enjoyed the understated elegance of the colorful decor, and our room was very comfortable. The service was excellent, and we were particularly grateful for one of the housekeepers who fixed our TV when we couldn’t get it started, then noticed we were out of the bottled water the hotel provides. He immediately brought us several more bottles , and refused to accept a gratuity for coming twice to our room, saying he was only doing his job. We had a good meal in the attractive restaurant, and the hotel is walking distance to several other very good places to eat. We would certainly stay here again if we returned to Georgetown. Tip: If you can afford it, it is well worth getting a room with a balcony or at least ask for one that overlooks the river. The view is wonderful

The George is wonderful! The staff goes out of their way to be helpful and the decor is upscale with a Low Country feel; however, at least one piece of artwork in the guestroom would have added to the ambiance.

Our stay at The George was nothing short of exceptional and while this is my husband's and my go-to hotel when we are in the area, this trip was a stand out. The moment we stepped into the beautifully appointed lobby/lounge we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality by Bakari at the front desk. He surprised us with a room upgrade and a chilled bottle of Prosecco to celebrate a friend's birthday. His warm smile and gracious spirit truly set the tone for our stay.
Cameron at the front desk was equally accommodating -- professional, personable, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. The service throughout was seamless and heartfelt, and we attribute a lot of that to Drue Ford, the General Manager, as he obviously leads his team with thoughtfulness and a true service-oriented mindset. The staff's attention to detail reflect exceptional leadership from the top down.
Dinner at the Independent is always a highlight, and this visit was no exception. Hunter, our server, is incredible - so engaging and personable, attentive and skilled. Bax, the bartender, was equally amazing, and Jenna, the Manager, incredibly accommodating as well. The best birthday dinner we could have asked for, complete with another thoughtful gift! We can't wait to return to this elegant, yet cozy, low country gem.
