York is not a nice area, but seems to be a mecca of sports facilities, so there are a great number of hotels along what I affectionately call "skid row", and then there are the Courtyard and TownPlace Suites, which almost share land as they're right next door to each other. As a Marriott loyalist, I always seek out their brands. There is a Four Points on skid row - but the reviews there speak for themselves. We've stayed at the Courtyard several times, and it's okay - just passable, but okay. However, the demand-based pricing was absurd for this trip, and they wanted over $400 per night. Sorry, not even considering paying that much for the Courtyard when it's just barely acceptable as a $150/night hotel. Hence why I stayed at the TownPlace. I normally avoid them as they're the runt of the litter for Marriott - you only even get half the points for stays there, which usually surprises people. My rate wasn't horrible, but when balanced with the experience, it was robbery. Oh, the noisy train right outside the hotel was a nice plus (insert sarcasm here). The staff were not helpful. Even with significant lead time, they were not able to meet simple requests. Then, there were disturbances by both guests and staff at the door. I didn't feel safe, and I won't stay at this property again at any price. Marriott franchisees, are you listening? You have a great opportunity to put a clean, well-run hotel in a better area in York.
