The Milner York

6/10 Okay

"The reception area was as nice as always and very welcoming and well maintained. The room was quite small and wasn’t as clean as could be the table was sticky and we found items under the bed. The pool area and changing rooms needs some money spending on it as the showers were not working or kit, the lockers were not working, the swimsuit machine was not working. Phones in room were not working. There are just a number of areas to address and for the charge of the stay it should be better maintained."

Dean Court Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Dean Courtney is conveniently located directly opposite the Minster. It is a short 15 minute walk from the train station. I was concerned that the area would be noisy given the location but it wasn’t. We stayed in the Wolsey Room which was tucked away in a connected building accessed via a back stairway behind the restaurant reception. One flight up and no elevator. The room was spacious but stark, a bit worn and lacked much furniture. There was no luggage rack or chest of drawers to store anything. We had to perch our luggage on the window seat. Not sure why but there were two large chandeliers in the room which looked very much out of place. I suspect it might have been used as a meeting room at some point. There is no air conditioning so I would not want to stay in the summer. We visited in late May staying 3 nights. The last day got quite warm around 85 degrees. The room got quite stuffy. Thankfully there was a decent enough fan to move the air around. Only one window would open and only about 6 inches. The bed was ok. The bathroom was fine, surprisingly great water pressure for a UK hotel. There is only passive venting so condensation builds up during bathing, hence some black mold on the caulk around the tub. The included breakfast was decent enough. You could order anything from the menu. It took awhile for someone to take your order but once that was done the food came along pretty. Overall ok for the price but probably would not stay here again"
