3 night stay with a friend for my 70th birthday. Very disappointed; the room (6) wasn't big enough to be a twin, so cramped, beds so uncomfortable, we hardly slept. Very cold as single glazed, full of condensation - bedding and towels felt damp. Very thin/basic duvets/pillows. No service in our rooms for the whole of our stay. Breakfast so basic and sparse, the worst I have ever had anywhere, bacon and sausage cheap and nasty, obviously microwaved and rock hard and no cereals/yoghurt to be seen or offered. Dining room so basic and uninviting, certainly nothing like the pictures. First morning we arrived for our breakfast 'sitting,' our breakfast was already on the table! All in all, this establishment needs a refurb and some warm/welcoming touches, the Hotel Inspector would have a field day! The only saving grace was that the Crescent is within walking distance of the city centre and parking is in the street at £5 per night which is good for York.
