4/10
The York is a splendid building with an interesting history. However, it is sadly faded and in need of extensive renovation. Rooms are poor: my bathroom shower had no seal at the bottom of the glass screen, and water ran freely on to the floor. The towel rail had been wrenched from the wall; the shelf above the sink had been removed; the light above the sink didn’t work; the shower hose rail was about to become detached from the wall; sealant around bath was mouldy; toilet seat was the cheapest and flimsiest money could buy. Pillows were extremely thin, one bedroom window wouldn’t open. Breakfast buffet was fine but tea and coffee were not in flasks so tea was stewed. All in all, this was the tone of what purports to be a three star hotel but in my view barely merits a single star. This could be a splendid hotel with substantial investment in renovation and greater attention to detail. It’s a lovely building and a shame to see the hotel going the way of so many seaside establishments.
