Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel

Pros: Very good price for York, especially on a races weekend.

Cons: It would have been helpful to know in advance that York Races were on and that it would be impossible to get a taxi without forward booking. I almost missed a friend's burial because of this.

Pros: The room and location Clean and spacious reception

Cons: Breakfast expensive Meetings in the reception / bar area early evening Noisy extractor fan in bathroom Had to ask for tea bags on second day ( after house persons visit )

Pros: Clean and bright, well maintained interior

Cons: Some lack of attention to detail. Shortage of teabags in room, need to point out to staff that things needed doing in the restaurant

Pros: Staff

Cons: The room we payed for well in advance was given to someone else
