The Georgian Hotel - Best affordable hotel on ocean drive
So far i've stayed in 2 hotel on the ocean drive...
BestWestern Ocean View (which was really horrible!)
and the Georgian.
We payed the same price for 1 week...
so i would def. recommend the Gerogian Hotel, because the BW Ocean View is a dump. Avoid this one!
PROS:
+ location
+ cleanliness
+ helpful staff
+ valet parking
+ price
NEG:
- no swimming pool (why a pool if you can get the ocean?)
- expensive room mini-bar
---------------------------------------------
as i've already mentioned in my journal entry, there was a guy at the front desk (it's possible that he was the manager too), was VERY cool.
his name was Gene, and he helped us so much with everything...
he knew what we were looking for ;) for having a good time, so he told us where to go in hollywood, venice, hermosa beach....
he told us where we would fine the cheapester liquor store, gave us some adresses of good restaurants...
and he was always in a good mood.. and always behaved totally honest.
GENE you're THE GUY!! thanks for helping us so much... and for not being an asshole... thumbs up for gene :)
to the hotel now:
the rooms were ok... clean, not to small, the minibar service was good, they had all kind of drinks, alcohol, snacks in it....just those prices were a little high...
the room service was great... the did the service at any time... morning, noon, evening... every day you got the newspapers for free delivered to your room... a card with the weatherforcast on it, and a square of chocolate:)
the only inconvenience were the elevators...those were sooooooooooo slow. i mostly used the stairs to get to the 5th floor...
besides that no complaints about the georgian hotel...
ok...a pool would be a good idea, however if you got the ocean in a walking distance, you don't care about the pools.
the valet service was good...the guys were very friendly, and they drove carefully, not like the valet guys from other hotels...
