This place was awful! There was dirty, filthy carpets, walls and sinks. They never clean, dust or vacum the floors. The ceiling and walls were peeling. Rust on the towel holders and vents. I would never recommend this place;ever. They are in bankruptcy and have no money to keep the hotel up and running. It is located in downtown with building that are vacant and not safe during the nights.

Stayed here to attend a wedding. Lovely olde world hotel in the center of York.
Arrived around 1pm and our room was ready so we were able to check in early. Check in was quick and we were given the option of having one or two old fashioned keys for the room. .
Lobby of the hotel was lovely, very charming and plenty of comfortable seating. Our room was on the 2nd floor, king size bed. Room maintained the charm of the lobby, wall paper was peeling in a couple of places but nothing terrible. Bed was very comfortable, plenty of nice fluffy pillows.
Elevator seemed to take forever and the stairwell was not marked but that would be the only complaint I had.
Overall a lovely charming hotel and we would recommend it.

I stayed for 5 days with a group of 100 people for a conference there. The staff was EXCELLENT! They went above and beyond the call. The downside is that the hotel as a whole is rundown and out of date. My room didn't look like it had been updated in 20 years -- old TV, old phone, chair fabric worn to thread, dingy carpeting, and the curtains would not close. Corners of the room were dirty. The equipment in the business office is ancient. Parking is valet only ($8 a day). If you are a history buff, you might like it, but don't expect modern amenities, and don't have high cleanliness standards.

Who says that hospitality can only be found in the South? Well, it can also be found at the Yorktowne Hotel!

We had the pleasure of staying in this historic facility this weekend while attending a conference. The hotel's charm and historic appeal is unmatchable. Our room was well appointed and clean (a BIG plus for me). The hotel staff was pleasant and extremely responsive -- our air conditioning unit died on Friday night. My husband called the front desk first thing Saturday morning, and the maintenance guy was there within 10 minutes. When we returned to the room later that day, the unit was fixed and the room was comfortably cool.

The Yorktowne was a pleasant change from other "top shelf" chain hotels. No hotel is perfect, but the Yorktowne offers a comfortable, clean, pleasant stay with a touch of old school charm. That's perfect enough for me.

I must say, I had some reservations about staying at the Yorktowne after reading some of the reviews on this post. I called the hotel on Friday morning to clarify some of the things I read. Shortly thereafter, the General Manager returned my call and talked extensively with me to alleviate my concerns. Way to go! What better customer service and hospitality can a patron hope for?
