Very small pool and stained carpets/chairs

I was very disappointed when I saw the pool - it's about 8m long; the photo makes it look a lot bigger. There are no showers in the changing room (other than a disabled toilet/shower) which means you have to get dry to return to your room to take a shower and wash your hair! Some of the chairs in the reception area were badly stained and the carpet in our bedroom was also stained. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice and the staff were all really friendly. Reception was often only manned by one person so sometimes there was a queue but on the whole, it was OK. The location was good for walking into York city centre. Would I stay again? Probably not as I only chose the hotel for the pool which turned out to be a real disappointment.

A bit disappointing

The room we was given was room 111 which in my opinion was not a queen size bed as I had booked. And also on the booking I made it had said car parking was included but I was charged a further £17!! Wasn’t the best experience unfortunately
