York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good
"The hotel is looking tired and needing a refurbishment, we were upgraded but the bedroom ceiling paper had been stuck back but not painted over, breakfast on day one was ok, day two was poor, breakfast was over 50 mins late due to a coach party being served as well, understaffed, breakfast cold when it can out. Stayed here many times, but it just feels the standards have dropped and really does need a refurbishment"
