Recently stayed here for a week on business. The good points - Close proximity to motorway network with M61 junction about 3 mins away. Ample free parking round the back of the hotel, never saw it full even when conference faciities were being used. Free wifi with good signal strength. One of the better hotel pool / fitness centres I have used although always best to avoid tea / time early evening in the pool due to swimming classes taking place.
Good selection on the buffet breakfast - all you can eat, also free newspapers if you get down in time
Comfortable bed
The bad points... (These have all been communicated to the Manager via email)
Avoid the older rooms (up to 440), very dated in decor and fittings, like a step back in time to the late 80`s,
Working space very much reduced due to television taking up most of the table top. Hanging space in wardrobe greatly reduced by storing ironing board and fan in there and whith internal chest of drawers
Draughts round the velux window which also means road noise can filter through. Electronic keycards failed on 3 of the 5 nights.
Dated bathroom complete with cream suite and ancient shower with a poor flow rate. Had a couple of issues with the housekeeping service regarding replenishments..
Food and drink prices on the high side against comparable grade hotels, maybe this is because they feel they have a captive market, however there is an Indian restaurant down the road and loads of other places to eat on the Middlebrook retail park adjacent to the Macron Stadium about 2 miles away. As in previous reviews it would appear that the hotel has a stock answer when adverse comments about food and drink prices being high ie ... "We will forward your feedback to our central office, who set the prices"
In conclusion I would say that when booking, it seemed reasonably priced, however after staying there I feel it is over priced

Staying at the Georgian House Hotel for the first time, I found the staff be very friendly from checking inn, to the restaurant to the Gym and pool. The rooms were very clean and airy. I had the bar food menu which was well cooked and tasty. I used the Gym and pool and there seemed to be good banter between the regular members and the hotel guests which makes a refreshing change. The 42inch TV in the room also adds to the experience.

Have stayed here twice recently on business trips. The hotel is well located just off the motorway and very close to the stadium. Rooms are large and spacious with comfortable beds. The bathroom suites are a little dated. Food is of a good quality although I have only eaten in the bar area. Generally a good hotel although drinks are a little overpriced.

I have stayed here regularly now over the past twelve months and standard of accommodation is consistently good. Rooms are clean and well maintained, free wifi and decent sized flat screen TV's in all rooms. The only negative I have is that the menu for evening meals is quite limited and when you stay on a regular basis it does get boring. There are a couple of decent restaurants within a short drive which helps. Buffet breakfast has plenty of choice and staff are always very pleasant. Not sure if I would recommend staying here for leisure, but as a business stop it is more than adequate. Also has a decent gym and pool for the more energetic guests.

Second time here with the kids. Friendly staff. Clean room with ample space. Great selection of hot and cold food at the breakfast buffet. Free WiFi handy for technologically savvy kids. Will definitely come again.

From the minute we arrived we were met by friendly staff, and after a mix up with our room, we ended up with free drinks and two rooms for the same price.
Although not new, the rooms are clean and nice. Everything is in the room from hair dryer to iron and ironing board. The beds are really comfortable, and not once was there noise in the corridors etc in the evenings.
The pool is warm and clean and at certain times we had the pool to ourselves.
We really enjoyed the breakfast choices and the price was good.
I would recommend this hotel, and we certainly will be back.

Arrived around 11pm hoping to get some sort of dinner. 24hr room service consists of sandwiches & Panni for around £6 plus £5 tray charge.
I ordered a Prawn Marie Rose sandwich & was told it would take 20mins, but 20mins later I was called to be told there was no sauce and would I chose something else. Yes, anything I am really hungry 15 mins later my £11 sandwich arrived. I've attached pictures as I was so disappointed.
I didn't have breakfast.
Room & bathroom was clean if a little tired.

Stayed at this hotel for 6 nights this month while visiting with family in the area.
Upon arrival, my wife and I were a little concerned with how small the room was. However after seeing 2 other rooms, we realized ours was one of the larger ones, for a standard room.
The rooms are well appointed with the standard items, hair dryer, coffee maker, TV, phone, etc.
The biggest thing we check for is cleanliness when staying in hotels. I have no complaints on this count at all. The room was well maintained throughout our stay.
The bathroom in our room appears to be recently renovated, was very nicely done and again spotlessly clean.
We dined away from the hotel each day so I cannot comment on this area, however my limited dealings with the various staff members on reception were all very positive and I found everybody to be very welcoming and helpful.
The hotel is located close to a major shopping complex, a minute drive from the motorway, yet also only a few minutes away from the piece and quiet of the countryside.
Overall we were very satisfied with our stay at the Georgian House.

It's not easy to stay in love. Came back after more than 20 years only to find that not much has changed.
Had a very nice room again, bar is a little bit emptier, Food has remained great. The place is Close enough to town but far enough away to secure privacy and a very good atmosphere.
