The Lighthorseman
Staff were okay. The toilet in the room was a saniflow. Very strange. The water in the shower was not flowing well due to the saniflow. Floor was dirty as well. I would not be going back sorry.

Radisson Hotel York
Rooms were nice and big, I had a fab view across the water. Little dated and could do with a minor revamp, but that’s fine. Staff were nice in the hotel. Breakfast was very nice and good for the price (although dining room was a bit difficult to find) Service was slow in the bar area for evening ...

The Milner York
Room was clean and nice but heating did not work properly and after one cold night we were given small electric radiators. Breakfast was very average. Communal areas in the hotel were very nice although pool was closed which we had not been told about. Location is excellent.
