Disappointing stay
Very disappointing stay. I will start with the good points, unfortunately there aren’t many. Location is good, just a short walk into York. The reception area is modern and clean. Breakfast was ok but cold. Now to the bad points. If you are considering dinner at this hotel… don’t! it was appalling, food cold, tasteless and inedible after waiting over an hour to eat. There is no restaurant and you are expected to eat in the lobby in completely inappropriate seating in the cold. Service was poor had to ask twice for drinks. Check in was mediocre although the staff are polite, they don’t seem experienced or able to offer anything other than handing over room keys. Rooms are tiny if you have booked the family room. Which is double bed plus sofa bed. However, when sofa bed pulled out there was no room to walk around any of the beds, instead having to get in from the end and not side on. Room was not clean, dirty loo and waste left under bed. No bath towels left in room only hand towels. Poor experience overall.

Nice staff, not worth the cost though.
Upon checking in the language barrier was very evident, however the receptionist was very pleasant. We were on the 5th floor with no working lift and heavy bags. This was less than ideal and we were not offered a room closer to the ground floor, we were just expected to walk up many flights of stairs with heavy bags. It was very cold and upon turning the electric radiators on and aircon, the room filled with an overpowering smell of plburnjng dust, which triggered my asthma which meant no sleep for me, just fighting for breath all night. There was a screaming baby next door and this aided our discovery on how incredibly thin the walls are. Honestly it was not worth the money we paid for the night, but the staff were nice people and location very convenient, also no onsite parking, instead a tiny pay and display public car park which took over an hour to get a parking spot in. Not suitable for disabled, or people who cant walk very well, particulary in winter months when its daro so early and can be icy underfoot.

We stayed on the first floor of the Holiday Inn and our window overlooked the large air conditioning units outside which made the room very noisy. The hotel offered to move us to a different room for the second night but the first night we found it very noisy.
