Box Tree Inn, New York City

Advantages: Everything about it.
Disadvantages: Getting more expensive.

...A multitude of pubs and bars mixed with historic tourist attractions and the odd cobbled street make York a fascinating place to visit (or live). There is so much to do, to see, to eat and to drink. Highlights include the breaded mushrooms at Victor J's cafe-bar on Finkle Street, a pint of Terrier at Colliergate's Last Drop Inn and the sweet and sour fish at Goodramgate's Siam House. Many new and expensive bars have made York the Notting Hill of the north, but there are enough traditional pubs that you feel like you are in the ancient city as portrayed in tourist brochures. An excellent mix of the old and the new. Try it, I did and I ended up living here.... Read review

Advantages: stunning scenery, quiet and peaceful
Disadvantages: v. cold in February!!!

I was there in February so a lot of the trees were bare, the lake we went past was frozen over and there was early morning frost making everything shimmer. It was such a perfect "Christmas-card" scene and I'd definitely love to go back.... Read review

Advantages: Convenient locations. Fixed price per room
Disadvantages: Lack character of older hotels

...There is growing competition for Britain's traditional lodging industry with the entry of budget hotel chains into the UK market. One of the recent entrants is the US company,Days Inn,and although a relative "new kid on the block",they are already making waves.Although not the cheapest they do offer quite high quality accommodation for your money. Most of the Days Inn hotels are located near to the main Motorway network which make them locationally convenient for taking a city break or visiting a theme park. Their current network of hotels include : ***Days Inn Sheffield South ***Days Inn Basingstoke East ***Birmingham Days Inn ***Days Inn Warwick North ***Days Inn Derby South ***Days Inn South Mimms ***Days Inn Leicester Forest East ***Days Inn Bristol West ***Days Inn Swindon East (Membury) ***Days Inn Bradford South ***Abington Days...
