Prince George Hotel
The staff were all very kind, the room was very clean. The breakfast was delicious. The only problem was the TV. Normally, we wouldn’t rent a room to watch TV, but the concert we were planning to attend was cancelled. The TV had very limited channels, no guide, and no options to rent movies.
