Express By Holiday Inn York-East

This was a last minute booking after a spur of the moment decision to spend a few days off work in York. Stayed for one night in July with my partner. Arrived quite late after driving up from the Midlands. I was a little worried by some of the reviews when booking, but had little time to decide a hotel and didn't want to stay in the centre....
The young man at Reception was very polite, friendly, and helpful. Good first impressions, ample parking, and ideally situated from the town centre. Very easy to use the bus/ park and ride, and to find the hotel when nearing York.
Our room was clean and comfortable. Good shower. Good facilities. Breakfast was reasonable, as expected. Seating area a little small perhaps.
Overall, really nice short break and would definetly stay here again.

The people manning the reception desk were friendly and helpful. One went out of his way to get us some water.
An improvement would be a better/more accessible source of free/tap water for all guests, especailly as this is suggested by the ice machine.

No complaints. It was exactly as expected. A cheap no frills room which was perfectly adequate for our 1 night stopover. The room was clean and had everythin gone would need/expect from this sort of hotel. Breakfast was continental only and 'herlp yourself' which again was fine and adequate.

As usual with Express By Holiday Inn, an easy and comfortable experience. Good sized, clean room and ensuite, very friendly and helpful staff, quiet and having a nice outlook over fields and trees.
