Hotel easy to get too,good parking and not too far a walk into centre,although park and ride easily available.Enjoyed using the pool but that was probably because it was quiet.

An honest commentWhilst our visit was only a short one I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others. We did not dine a the hotel but the choice of menu at breakfast was very good particulaly for me, a vegetarian. Staff were very friendly and helpful.Hotel was situated in an excellent spot for travelling into York Centre or going to the races as the racecourse was directly opposite. We were able to leave the car at the hotel and catch a bus from outside the hotel into town. The buses ran every ten minutes and the bus stops for the retun journeys were easy to find so no worries about parking in town, car parking fees or time restrictions.Bedrooms were comfortable with fresh, crisp white sheets on the bed and fresh towels each day.My only negative observation was that guests from the hotel who wished to smoke would come out onto the patio behind the hotel which was directly in front of our room. The weather during our visit was excellent but if we opened the window of our room the smoke would filter in. Not sure how that could be resolved unless rooms immediately next to the patio were reserved for smokers. Would definitely return to this hotel if visiting York again.

This hotel has delusions of grandeur. The room given was seperate from he main hotel, the door did not lock properly and it was cold in the morning even with the heating on. The shower was very poor, a dribble of cold water to wash in. The staff at the hotel were very friendly nd accomodating, but it was very much 'over sold'. The pool room is a converted shed and the 'heated' pool was cold. The 'changing rooms' were unisex, unheated with again, cold showers. The food at brakfast was excellent, but served in the basement and on the second day they did not have room for us until afetr breakfast had finished being served. Would not go again and very shocked at difference between description and reality

Not quite what I was expecting!!!On first sight this hotel looks a bit 'old fashioned', but once you drive into the car park it soon shows that it isn't. The rooms in the annexe are spacious and well appointed, albeit with a few faults (showers mainly - the head fell off mine!), and very quiet. Having the indoor heated swimming pool right outside my room was a bonus, and it even mead having to pick the leaves out of the pool while using it bearable - the tree to block the sunlight tends to shed lots of leaves! The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. One slight complaint is that the menu is a bit 'limited' and fussy, but the meals I had were lovely all the same. It made a pleasant change from the hotel 'chains' I usually stay in!

We stayed at this Hotel in 1998 when we were in the main part of the Hotel. This time we were in one of the garden rooms which are small but adequate. The rooms are in need of refurbishing. The choice of menu and the quality of the food in the evening was very good. The service in the restaurant was excellent and it would be far better if breakfast could be served in the dining room instead of the basement. We are visiting again in August to celebrate my wifes birthday but this time we have booked a room in the main building.
