I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was excellent, just a short walk into York, and there were some lovely restaurants around the corner. The room was upgraded on a quiet night, and I even had a superb swimming pool for an early morning dip. However, the property was in need of a total makeover.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was excellent and close to main attractions, the rooms were uncomfortably hot without the heating on, and the bathroom was very out of date. The service was excellent with very friendly and accommodating staff, but the dining experience could use some improvement. The facilities were overall satisfactory.
