Everything is good except the WiFi. Be prepared with your own data plan as there is no WiFi inside the room. I stayed in 2nd floor in a Junior Suite in the main building, so if no stable WiFi for the suites in the main building, don't expect it to work elsewhere.

Hotel is in a great location, however for the price our room was tiny and the internet was very poor. Hilton is so much better for the price you pay.

Expensive for the room

We were in a supposed Superior king room. The bathroom was fine but the bedroom was dark, small and not a nice room at all. Definitely not worth the cost

Convenient hotel

I was in York for a business trip and the Milner was close to the station and only a 5 minute walk from the city centre so a very convenient location. The staff were friendly, the room was comfortable and quiet and I enjoyed my short stay.

This property was dirty and lacked the wow factor which is expected. It was dirty unclean and overall lacked the love and attention needed to upkeep the property. I will never return and am highly displeased with not only the service but the property and management.

Historic elegance

Selected for convenience but appreciated historic elegance. I was traveling by train and bus, and it was perfect for both. Friendly, helpful staff. Smallish room, but I associate that with time period. Had similar experience at Chicago's Palmer House from same time period. Enjoyed my stay.
