• The grill was OK and Menina at the front desk was the only positive point.
• Old, out of date, no amenities, poor maid service, uncomfortable furnishings, extra charges everywhere.

• The staff was very helpful and very nice.
• No pool. very unhappy that such a high quality hotel had no pool!

“The hotel staff was very nice. The hotel was very high end as far as looks. This is a place for weddings, older couples or business professionals. There is no pool and really nothing fun in the area. It is an old business district. The staff were the best. They made the stay better for us. We were looking for a fun place to swim and enjoy the sights. We traveled 45 minutes to get to the fun.”

• Wonderful older hotel retrofitted and refurbished.
• Parking was terrible, charged extra for my child too!

“A nice hotel, in what appears to be the heart of York PA, nothing much to do in the area, and if you venture far from the hotel, it gets rather ruff quick. Parking was a hassle and with the cost of parking and additional fee for my daughter's bed, it isn't a bargain in any way.”

• Friendly staff and historic beauty of the facility.

“Beautiful historic building. Close enough to Hershey or Harrisburg to make the stay worth it. If you enjoy historic buildings, this one is a gem. 24/7 secure valet parking. Dress to dine. Although I didn't have time to enjoy the dining experience, the menu was posted and looked like something I would indulge in for a special occasion.”

• The bed was ok
• No Pool and/or spa very small rooms and very old and worn out rooms.

“The room is very small and very worn out. They need to upgrade these rooms and overall apperance of this hotel. The staff was nice and helpful. Not a good hotel for the family or tobe romantic in. Might be ok for business travelers only .”

• The staff couldn't be friendlier or more professional, they were FANTASTIC.
• The shower almost burned me and froze my daughter. Water pressure problems.

“At first I was upset that we ended up getting this hotel on Priceline, but staying there was a pleasure. If you are looking for a room to hang out in for long periods of time, this is not the place for it. The rooms are cozy and have VERY comfortable beds. The furniture is a bit worn but clean. This is a historic hotel, you shouldn't expect chrome furniture! Our bathroom was a bit snug. The sink area was fine. I would stay again.”

• The room was huge and well-kept, the front desk and housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful, and the business center and workout room were useful.
• Paid valet-only parking was not as convenient as parking our own car.

“We loved our stay at the Yorktown Hotel! From the moment when the front desk clerk answered all our questions and told us how to find the Central Market to the last friendly goodbye at checkout, we had a great time. Actually, even before we stayed there, we made use of the many links to local attractions and all the great information on their website. Our corner room was huge, well-appointed, clean, and comfortable. Staff, both at the desk and housekeeping, were courteous and thorough about doing their jobs. The workout room and business center were not luxurious, but were great for keeping me on track with my goals. We highly recommend this hotel.”

• Downtown location, walk to restaurants
• Beds WAY TOO HARD

“This is a beautiful, historic hotel in the heart of York. Warm, welcoming staff and generously sized rooms.”

• Large room, a good window view and quiet.
• Room was worn and shabby.

“Newly tiled bathroom with a new shower head. Also had a new flat screen TV but the remote didn't want to work. Otherwise the room was old. A post was broken off the bed and the curtains were torn which lacked a pull to draw the curtains close. The room was a large corner room with a nice view of the state building next door. The hotel had limited staff as well as limited customers.”

• The hotel had beautiful architectural detail.
• The bathroom was clean but not remodeled yet.

“I would go back to this hotel in a heartbeat. The architectural detail was beautiful. Our room was very large and clean. The hotel staff was very helpful and friendly.”

• Good location.
• Sheets and pillows smelled.

“I am from York and the Yorktowne Hotel always had a good reputation. We waited for our room at check-in and the linens smelled. Not appropriate for a family.”

• Great bar/restaurant and
  nice location.
• Outdated, tiny bathroom. Furniture needs updating.

“Overall, I was pleased with my stay. The furnishings were a bit outdated, and the bathroom was tiny and outdated as well. The room itself was quite spacious, however, and the hotel staff was nice.”

• Very old rooms,
  very loud area at night nothing updated just plain old.

“Would not recommend, bad area of town, very loud at night, rooms are so old and dingy and weird set up.”

• Is a gem. The cleaning staff is so helpful.

“We always feel safe and comfortable at the Yorktown hotel. Our car is probably safer here than anywhere in the city with valet parking and a private garage.”

• Clean rooms and
  nice staff.
• Location and
  valet parking.

“Hotel in located in the historical district of York PA. Hotel owned valet parking cost me $7.00 per day and parking for my 6 X 8 cargo cost me $23.00 per day for 4 days, at a private lot. Needless to say I wasn't a bit happy about the whole thing.”

• Excellent staff and very accommodating.
• Needs to be remodeled which they're in the process of doing.

• The downstairs area was very pretty.
• In the bad part of the city.

“This hotel was in a very bad part of York PA. The rooms need an update, and maids to clean them.”

• The staff was really friendly, no problem to change rooms or to check out late. The rooms were huge.
• It's right downtown in a bad neighborhood. There are a lot of street noises at night. The room smelled old and moldy.

“I really wouldn't recommend staying at this hotel. It is not a good place to be with kids. The ghetto area of the town starts right around the corner. You have to pay extra for parking and there was no valet parking. They also charge extra for rollaway beds ($15 a day), we were woken up several times during the night by loud street noises and loud music.”
