Could do better

There is nowhere to park while you check in.. I expected a drive through at the fro t of hotel, but no.. nowhere. Parking is around the other side of the block and a key is needed to get in. I made a 1 night booking and then decided (some weeks ago) to stay 2 nights so made another 1 n booking online and sent an email asking to keep bookings together in same room. I reminded staff on check in but still got a phone call telling me I needed to check out. Then had to muck around getting keys extended etc (which shows she definitely didn’t listen to me on checkin or see notes) We had breakfast booked as part of package but didn’t realise it was at a totally different hotel which required 3 traffic lights to wait for to walk there each way. We were not given breakfast vouchers or explained this but when I asked, was told to come each morning and get a voucher. This then meant lining up at reception each morning.. cannot see why they could not be given on check in. The toilet is behind the bathroom door and ok for use with the door closed but dangerous for your feet if you are on it and someone else enters bathroom. I had a bath, only to realise that there was no soap, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner etc down there and could not bring from shower as they are fixed. Only 4 small milk portions in fridge.. you need 2 to have one coffee, so that was only one cup each. Staff seem flustered and because of this did not come off as friendly or welcoming. Good location for our appointment.

The washer and dryer in the room were essential for our family trip mid week. The load sizes are European and cycles are longer than US models, but they did a great job and were relatively quiet. We were easy walking distance to the quay for activities and dining. The booked breakfast option is associated with the sister hotel in the next block, which worked out great. There is also a kitchenette and a family room with separate parent bedroom which we liked very much. The front desk staff are not as knowledge as with higher end hotels. We had to ask for enough towels and toilet paper to serve the family as it was only stocked for 2. They did provide the needed extra bed and there is a hideaway in the couch for sleeping. We would stay again for the convenience and quality.

The location was great. The amount of space in the unit was very good but the condition of the unit(s) was not so good. The first unit was dirty with items left from previous tenant. The second unit was better. The building has individually owned units that the York folks rent out. So different amenities and conditions. Maintenance Mike was great. Came and fixed some things that should have been working.
