Top Discovery Centre Hotel Reviews

Prince George Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basic room, good a/c temperature control. Great water pressure and hot water for the shower. Comfortable beds. And the pool and hot tub are in need of a bit of tlc, but they were a nice amenity and empty! Would be be nice if there was a fan in the bathroom for humidity from the shower."

Red George Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and seems revelry renovated, so the bathroom was spotless. It felt like I was staying at a friend’s. I just wished there was a chain or extra lock on the door, and the label on the shower showed the wrong temperature direction, so I wasted a bit more water than normal waiting for it to warm up in the wrong direction."
