Great location for see York
Pros:

Good position for using park and ride getting into York. Lovely staff. Pleasant hotel open and friendly

Cons:

The room was a bit tired - cracked bathroom sink - creased net curtains - bed and bit hard. These small things didnt spoil our stay though. We would stay again - very reasonable prices.

Pros:

Room was spacious, comfortable and had all amenities required as stated. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice. Cooked breakfast was fresh and hot. Very comfortable bed. Hotel was in a good location for access to York. Just a 17 minute walk to the park and ride with a frequent service and last return bus at 22.30.

Cons:

Nothing that I can think of.

Stayed previously without issues. Would use hotel again, hope our problems this time were one-off.
Cons:

1. Wifi did not work in the room (tried 4 devices)
2. Floor tiles in bathroom not fixed down, treading on them caused fluid to ooze out.
3. Bathroom fan operates but VERY little or NO damp air is extracted misted mirror remains misted. As a result it smells damp and smell spreads to room if door left open.
4. Had to have a door key reprogrammed several times, never kept near phone.
5. Reported all above on departure, would have expected some comment/respose.
