Expensive for what you get.

The room was ok but in real term a bit small for a family, with no space to open your luggage really. Beds and bathroom were clean and as you'd expect for a holiday inn. However there was no restaurant on sight as we'd expected from the amenities list on the hotels.com website and we never got feedback from the hotel when we emailed to asked. So all in all, quite expensive from what you get.

Basic but adequate accommodation. Reliance on pub next door for food and drink, and that rather scruffy and down market. Sign saying the reason for lack of attention to the outside "feeding the bees".... just an excuse for doing nothing to keep the area tidy. Poor impression of the whole place.

Brilliant find.

Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Child friendly, quiet hotel. Great breakfast with lots of choice and good quality. Rooms were clean and very practical for a family with one double bed and one sofa bed. Great location, two mins drive from park and ride which is an 8 mins bus ride into the centre of York. Hotel also 2 min drive to big shopping complex including Hollywood bowl and an Asda.

Always wonderful reception

Every time I stay at this IHG on the outskirts of York I am greeted with warmth, professionalism and kindness. Amber was on reception, she was very professional and check in was effortless and quick. She also helped me out with a couple of queries. Breakfast was wonderful as usual, really nice staff, full of smiles & helpfulness.

There is no designated parking. The hotel is dated and not cleaned to an appropriate standard. When entering our room there was a damp musty smell which we highlighted to the staff member on duty. There was no offer of a new room. After returning from a drive and removing our shoes, we discovered that the area of carpet directly in front of the bathroom was soaked, as though it had been flooded, or there was an underlying leak from the bathroom in our or, or the one next door. We brought the manager to the room to show her, where she provided some towels for the floor, this did not alleviate the smell. By this time we were informed there were no other rooms available, it was an unpleasant night. This room was not up to standard and should not have been occupied by anyone until the problem was solved. Hopefully the management will see it fit to refund the fee we were charged.
