    It is tired decor and furniture in patches, but it is good value for money for York (cheaper than the Travelodge when we stayed!) so we weren’t too bothered.

    Super well located, just a 5/7 min drive into York, or near the park and ride buses. It was super clean, both in public areas and in our room. Our bed was super comfy! Breakfast was delicious, and plentiful (£12 when bought the night before), and staff friendly and helpful.

    Unfortunately the shower water was not warm enough. We also learned the room phone did not work.

    I enjoy walking and since this hotel is outside town, Opportunities to walk are abundant. The staff were helpful and friendly and did extra Things to help make my stay comfortable.

    The most expensive room we paid for in a 3 week trip. Very tired furnishings, bathroom etc yet this was apparently the modern side of the hotel. Restaurant food not value for money. It tasted like prepackaged food.

    Helpful staff. Good size room.

    All seating outside the entrance was mainly for smokers. I didn't use this seating area because I don't like the smell of smoke.

    Breakfast was lovely. Plenty to choose from. Location was lovely. Nice garden. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    The room looked a little tired in places. The windows didn’t lock and were difficult to use and the bathroom could do with a revamp. We stayed with an elderly relative who decided she wanted breakfast one morning. The receptionist said she couldn’t pay for breakfast this morning as we hadn’t booked the night before. She went without breakfast . “Rules are rules”. Doh.

    The staff were friendly and accommodating.

    The room 119 was quite hot (there was no heating on) the bedside tables? were behind you so not easily accessible & therefore the bedside lights were standard lamps which you could only switch off by getting out of bed. The bath, being very deep, needs a grab rail for safety, the ones on the bath are too low for elderly people in fact walk - in showers would be more suitable nowadays also the sink needs a proper fixed plug & a trap across the hole. It was nice to have a fridge but it needs to be on a table or something but not on the floor.

    Breakfast was fine plenty to choose from. The dinner menu was very restricted for myself. Staff were very attentive. It was great having the bus stop across the road..

    It is in desperate need of the rooms being updated, the cold water for the sink smelt like sewage or that it was coming from the river and for me that made it un drinkable, no air con in my room, which is fine for May but I can imagine it would get really hot in the summer months.

    The building itself looks lovely on approach and the lobby area and bar was nice as well.

    Breakfast… I was sold it at check in for £12… it was a bit poor. There was a hair in the eggs. I mentioned it on checkout but no refund was offered.

    Great location and loads of parking. Reception staff was wonderful on check in. Room spacious and clean.

    Light switches in bedroom in awkward position by bed and very high to reach when In bed. It took quite a while to connect my phone to the hotel’s internet. I was on the ground floor.

    Breakfast good, but more labels would help on yoghourt for instance. And for someone who rarely stays in hotels, more staff around at breakfast to show how the various machines work and possibly help carry cups, bowls, plates.
