Lovely hotel in a great location.
Pros:

A great location for York (2 and a half miles away) with a bus stop outside the hotel. Lots of parking and lovely gardens.. Very comfortable rooms and exceptionally polite and efficient staff.

Cons:

Liked everything.

A mixed experience
Pros:

The general facilities are good and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is very handy for the park and ride.

Cons:

The room really wasn’t great. The window frame had a gap so the room was cold and draughty. The bathroom was disappointing and not up to a standard you would expect in a hotel these days, the toilet flush was missing the handle, the flush itself was hit and miss and the shower curtain was the wrong size so it was a hazard in the bath tub with too much fabric or soaked the floor if it was outside the bath. Maybe we were unlucky with the room we were allocated.The price was quite low for York but I’m not sure I would book again, depending on the price I would maybe pay extra for an upgraded room. Apart from the room the hotel had a lot of positives.

Clean, comfortable and good location
Pros:

Really impressed with this hotel. We attended for a murder mystery event and stayed 2 nights.
The public areas of the hotel (lobby, bar, dining room) were really beautifully decorated.
The breakfast was good, decent coffee, fresh orange press, good hot breakfast. The pastries needed warming but apart from that we left satisfied.
The bedrooms are a little dated but the facilities were good, tea and coffee making favilities, hair dryer, toiletries. A refurb would make a big difference but the rooms are a decent size, comfortable and clean. Most importantly they are really soundproof!! We were right next to the lobby and didn’t hear a thing.
Lovely staff and a great location, a short walk away from the park and ride into York. I would definitely stay here again if in the area
