10/10 Excellent
"We arrived and they were having some work done on the outside, but being a Sunday night no one was working. We had an easy check in but was shocked at the £25 parking fee (only £5 at the Holiday inn) Staff were polite and helpful. We went to the room on the 3rd floor which was fairly dark but was clean and had an enormous bed, made with a quilt 2 pillows each. All the furniture was dark wood, there was a hairdryer, iron and board in the wardrobe. And a large TV. The bathroom had a bath that would have got us both in, it also had a heated towel rail. Big fluffy towels. We went out into York for a meal at the pub for dinner, York was beautiful, clean and had some lovely little shops. Breakfast in the morning was full English plus continental if needed. It was hot and lots of it. The staff were very friendly. We slept so well, the bed was very comfortable and the room had a fan in as it was warm. Check out was easy in the morning."
