Canal Inn Hotel, Georgetown

Stayed in Lock #10 for two nights in mid-October. Wonderful stay. Bottom line, I definitely recommend the Georgetown House and would (Will) stay again. Comparing the value, quality, and location across other Georgetown properties – this place is a hand’s down winner! Few points: 1. Comfortable bed, clean room. Locks 10 and 11 seem like they would be the best choice, other locks have common doors just outside your door, so you hear everyone coming / going and getting coffee, etc. 2. Nice little two-person outdoor patio set outside lock #10, very nice for sharing a night cap. 3. Others have commented about the absence of staff, I do agree this is off putting but everything seemed to work with a little ‘figuring out’. 4. For example, checking in at the ATM like machine, which takes a $100 deposit – and provides a numerical key code to your room. It was unclear to me that code ALSO opens the front door just to the right of the ATM, and whether that door was the common entrance. 4a. Another reviewer also mentioned their deposit took longer than they expected to be refunded, I was surprised to see the deposit move to a charge vice dropping from ‘pending charges’, took the full 5 days to credit after I called – expect a delay, the refund is not instant. 5. On the coffee machine, it defaults to a 6oz pour. Override that and select 10oz – that fills the cup entirely and doesn’t waste the Keurig grounds in the capsule. 6. Location could not be better, don’t miss dinner at Clyde’s or a dessert to go from Filomena’s (Turtle and Strawberry cheesecakes are spectacular, all made in house). Would stay again, thank you Georgetown House!
