Novolentine's Stay - Fairly okay
Pros:

The room was comfortable, check in and check out was easy, and they held our luggage after check out for us which was really useful and appreciated.

Cons:

The pool and sauna (whilst nice) were only available for 30 minute slots; additionally, a staff member during our check in informed us that we needed to check out of using the pool after using it. When we did so, we were told by that same member of staff that they don't do that.

The breakfast not being complimentary was a bit disappointing but understandable, and the bed mattress was a bit stiff. We were allocated a disability room, despite not needing or wanting one as well. There were also no apparent radiators in our room, which made drying swimming costumes a bit difficult. The shower also couldn't be turned down in temperature.

Pros:

Great location to park up for the day and night and walk into york

Cons:

Heating was broke in our room, air-conditioning constantly blowing out cold air even when switched off. Had a oil heater put in a family room but didn't make much difference.
