Questions about George and Dragon Clifton

What time is check-in and check-out at George and Dragon Clifton?

Does George and Dragon Clifton have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does George and Dragon Clifton have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book George and Dragon Clifton?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
