"The hotel itself was absolutely wonderful and breath taking! My partner and I booked the signature suite with the city view through Expedia with the expectation we would have a clear view of the York minster as pictured, however, the room we were given had no such view. I understand there are variations to the suites but this specific view was my main reason to book this room so was quite disappointed with this. Other than this, we had a lovely stay at the Milner York and cannot fault the customer service and the food!"
