Prince George does not have any hotels that are really close the airport, and surprisingly all the hotels are about a 15 to 20 minute drive away. Some are downtown and have stores and restaurants nearby and some are located a few minutes from the city centre. Online reviewers have complained about some areas of town which seemed a little unsafe to them. We eliminated all the hotels that had mediocre ratings or were situated in the more seedy area of town. Good hotels do not come cheap in Prince George, but there are some highly-rated hotels that guests thought offered good value.
