The Milner York
Beautiful room very clean and cosy. Amazing shower. Stains on cream chairs situated around the table and on the carpets were disappointing for quality of the room. Communal areas of the building are well presented .

Radisson Hotel York
Jen on the front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Lovely room and stay. Only thing that let it down was breakfast. Not much choice hot food and it was cold.
