York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection
Situated out of town but on excellent bus route the hotel serves as great base for exploring York. Parking available, breakfast lovely but no evening meal - several other places to eat near by

Emerald Residence
A very clean room with friendly staff and convenient albeit limited parking. Our issues came from the rail radiator in the bathroom not working as well as the bathroom being cold overall. The check in and check out processes were seamless.
