Leeds Marriott Hotel
Very average. Had a room with a joining door and we could clearly hear the next room. Rooms are small especially the bathroom. Breakfast, again average. Beds are very hard, which suits some, pillows poor quality.

Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort
I enjoyed my stay and found it very relaxing. The only recommendation is to paste a description in the lift to help guests find their way around

Crown Hotel Harrogate
The staff were all lovely. The family room was great and had everything we needed. Spotlessly clean too. Fantastic location in centre of Harrogate. It was built in the 1700’s so you must embrace its age and character.
