Two nights marathon weekend
York marathon on my birthday so missed breakfast Sunday but Monday was ok even a tad earlier so I could get on the road home. High level of attention to detail room was amazing comfy bed quiet slept well. Well located and parking a tad confusing but got there in the end. Biscuits coffee was plenty and ended up a solo trio as my partner was not fit to come with me due to long drive ….

Although we visit York often, This is the first time staying at the exhibition, the staff were very friendly and helpful from arrival until we left, especially Joe who checked us in and showed us to our room. The room was very comfortable and clean, the breakfast was excellent and the whole atmosphere was very welcoming. After just one night there we booked to come back and stay again! Thankyou to everyone at the exhibition for making our trip to York a memorable one 🤗

All the staff were welcoming and friendly. The breakfast exceeded our expectations as the choice on the menu was huge. Our room was so hot but we welcomed the fan provided. Location was excellent we were minutes from York Minster.

Front door locked on arrival.
Would've been nice to have been informed there was a private function on during the day. We arrived to the front door locked. Was actually intending to eat there before checking in so consequently had to drag our bags with us on a baking hot day to eat somewhere else. On arriving back at about 2.30pm there was a note on the door to say 'closed due to private function'. No word for how to access. Went to the back and luckily a staff member saw us and asked if he could help. We then had to walk past all the bridal party in the yard area at the back, and again when we wanted to leave.

Wow, a gem! Great place to stay!
What a lovely place to stay!
From our arrival throughout, ALL the staff were polite and very welcoming, couldn't do enough to assist. Parking was available, the service in public areas was first class, drinks prepared beautifully. We sat outside in the evening in the colourful courtyard. Breakfast this morning was also really good, with a decent pot of tea to wash down the delicious food. I would not hesitate to stay here again, thank you all for making us so welcome!
