Especially considering the age of the hotel, the room was in outstanding condition. Everything was great, really comfy bed and good shower AND tub! Nice and clean. The breakfast was very tasty and the manager was pleasant, capable and most accommodating, despite confusion at check-in.
Despite having a printed confirmation in hand for our stay at the George, our reservation had not been received by the manager from the online booking company, creating stress for us - we were hiking, and in no way able to seek alternate accommodation in another town at the end of the day. Luckily, there was a room. If there had not been a room, I don't really know what we would have done - there is apparently nowhere else to stay in Dorchester. This was the only place that I made a reservation where I was unable to have direct email contact with the management/owners at the time of booking. Perhaps an opportunity for customers to confirm personally with them would eliminate this kind of mix-up in the future. By having direct contact, I was able to confirm via email shortly before we left with all our accommodations that we were coming (seeing as the reservations had been made months previously), and which night - all except the George. By the way, I have made many online bookings before without incident.
Overall: The stay itself was fantastic. We loved the George. The only downside was the check-in, for which I have downgraded the overall experience from "excellent" to "good". The manager, who worked with her husband in running the hotel, was absolutely wonderful. (107316493)

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.
Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.
All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.
48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
