They could improve the bed . Ours was leaning backwards. The pillows were tiny and flat.the broken shower faucet , the food . We were part of a tour group and had a pre set menu . It was the first place that we had stayed in - in our 2 week visit that the food was simply awful. From start to finish the food was worst than public school cafeteria food. Everyone in our party of 19 agreed that it was the first meal that we had received on our trip. The beef and potatoes with gravy and parsnips was something that I would not feed to my dog. It was smothered with a salty water sauce that supposedly was a beef gravy. The desserts were even more dreadful. As a trained pastry chef - the chocolate cake tasted like corrugated cardboard that was picked up in the desert . Also breakfast , every place we stayed on had wonderful Greek yogurt at breakfast, this place served watered down "country yogurt " that was never filled enough to get a bowl. I would not recommend a group tour staying h here. Everyone in our group agreed that the mattresses and pillows were simply the worst of our entire trip. Also we had a drink before dinner and sat outside - every table was piled up with dirty dishes and glasses and bottles . No one was clearing tables for the entire 45 minutes that we sat outside on the patio. Too many lovely places to stay instead of York Marriott. read more

York Marriott Hotel - What's on this photo ? I don't know . It's a thing that creates nightmares. - Hotels Near Me - York, YOR

Needs updating. The beds are subpar, to say the least. The bed leans/tilts towards the ground on the sides. Fans/AC broken in the whole area (the front desk supplied a fan). Not just our room. The further back you are, the hotter it got. People commented about how lucky we were to be able to get a fan. Very uncomfortable setting. Food was good. Good choices at breakfast. They provide free wifi and lotion. The phone was incredibly dirty and rundown. When trying to call the front desk for assistance, no one answered twice. The staff were nice once we had to go to the front desk for assistance. It is loud/noisy through the door that is adjoining to the room next door. read more

I liked this hotel which has a beautiful location overlooking the racecourse, which I believe you can access from the lovely large back garden. Other facilities are very good too - there's a very nice pool and steam room/sauna. The bar isn't the most sophisticated in appearance but they did make us a cracking lemon sherbet cocktail and the bartender was lovely. The room was very big and comfortable as bf got an upgrade through his gold card status. The bed was absolutely massive, I could barely tell he was in there with me! Nice toiletries, towels etc, perhaps I'm easily impressed not being used to staying in hotels much these days but I would think it's at least a good business hotel standard. Iron in the room and plenty of room to work as well. It surprised me that for a standard room the Marriott was the same price as the Ibis or Holiday Inn. Although they are in the city centre and this is not, I definitely think this is better value for money - it's either a nice walk along the race course or a quick taxi into town. read more

A full-service Marriott property located about a mile and a half from the York railway station and with a fab view of the famous York race course. This hotel has a pool (a small one, but it's a pool), a sauna, a spa and a beauty salon plus bar and restaurant. As a 'platinum' level Marriott guest, it was very welcoming and had all the features I expected. The staff were all very pleasant. The room was decently sized and I was upgraded to one with a racecourse view. Decent size tub and a separate walk-in shower. The room was quiet and peaceful and there was sufficient security on the ground floor door to my "backyard." If I'm ever in York again, I would absolutely stay here. Bonus: The #4 bus stops RIGHT out front. read more

Excellent luxury hotel located next to the racecourse in York, and with easy access into the city centre (five minutes' drive). My room had two huge beds, and was furnished with taste and quality. I was too frightened about expense to use the minibar, especially when I saw how outrageously expensive an internet connection was. Hotels of this standing should really provide free wifi in this day and age. I used Priceline to book this hotel, and paid a much reduced rate. I wonder if that was why i was allocated a room as far from reception as it was possible to be! The hotel has a tennis court, leisure club, swimming pool and restaurant, but I regret that didn't have time to use any of these facilities. Undoubtedly, the best thing about the room was the bed, and Marriott are right to stress this comfort in their publicity. However, the bathroom was also excellent. I left the hotel feeling very good. Highly recommended. read more

Their breakfast is five stars all the way. Their dinner was 2.5-3 stars. There hotel was a 2.5 but only because it was so hot with a broken air conditioning unit. The breakfast was common English fare such as sausage, cooked tomatoe, eggs, beans, hash, but with fruit and more. Honestly this breakfast was so good that so far it beats any breakfast I've had in England in the last six days. The dinner wasn't all that bad, but then again it wasn't all that good either. It was very nice atmosphere with very nice service, but my advice would be eat the breakfast, but try and eat dinner somewhere else such as Ye Old starred Inn or perhaps Little Italy. The Hotel had really nice rooms, with a big tv, a fairly good bed, and a nice bathroom. Usually English bathrooms feel like closets but this felt comparable to the size of bathrooms in US Hotels read more

We have stayed at the Marriott Hotel in York twice over the last year. It is a very well maintained hotel, and true to Marriott offers excellent service. The restaurant was excellent for both breakfast and evening meal. The hotel and rooms were spotless, and very well cared for. I would certainly stay at this hotel again in the future. read more

We booked this hotel (our first UK Marriot stay) as the views overlooking the racecourse (in the room we had booked) looked nice on the web site. We arrived to be told we had been upgraded (free) to a Penthouse Suite - same views, but at the top. French doors opening onto a veranda with table and chairs on the opposite side of York racecourse from the grandstands and with a helicopter pad below. Two showers, bath, two sinks in a bathroom bigger than our own bathroom and kitchen together. No complaints about the room - apart from deciding which of the two minibars to use! Food was nothing special in the bar and restuarant - you average chain hotel type food. Breakfast was also typical chain hotel buffet - luke warm. Service was OK, but on the first day, the cleaners removed a cup from the hospitality tray and despite two visits to the desk, it still wasn't replaced by the time we checked out. Would we stay again? Yes as long as it was in room 269 read more

Hotel has a pretty view overlooking the York racetrack. A fair ways out of town, and the bus is both expensive and doesn't come all that often. I walked it most times, thinking I'd hop the bus if it passed me, which it rarely did. The hotel was old, old, OLD, with that old hotel smell. The room was ok, but given how much there is to see in York center, I think if you were visiting York, you'd be much better off staying in the downtown area. read more

nice marriott hotel located 1.5 miles from the gate to the city center easy walk or bus #4 or 6 pound cab to the sites spacious - on a horse track with a running course behind the property very polite staff on site parking - no valet, no real baggage service great pool and jacuzzi - would be perfect for families/kids no executive club for gold/platinum members tidy, nice property - not jaw dropping but adequate needs a breakfast and drink service though for elite members read more
