Delta Hotels by Marriott York
Pool was great and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was also lovely. However, avoid room 217 at all costs! The noise from the external generator was all we could hear all night and got no sleep.

Clayton Hotel Leeds
Great newish hotel, on its own but only 10 mins walk to station and city shops. Great breakfast for £10. Good nights sleep. Clean.

Crown Hotel Harrogate
Very efficient check in with friendly staff. The room was clean. It was an executive suite and very spacious, almost too much so as it felt oddly sparse. As mentioned in previous reviews, the room and furniture were ‘tired’ and in need of updating. The hotel must have been glorious in its heyday ...
