The York Hotel Kalgoorlie — Restaurant in Western Australia

My family and I were staying in the York hotel for a family occasion, we were travelling from over seas. I literally have nothing positive to say about the York, if there was a minus rating I would give it. We arrived approximately 4.30 in the afternoon upon check in we were loosely greeted by a man, claiming to be the manager. From the get go there were issues. Firstly he claimed that we, a family if four had booked a double room and our other family member, who booked separately, had booked a family room. After a lengthy discussion of simple, why we would never do that considering their was four of us together, we eventually moved on from that issue. |We were then handed a check in piece of pater, to fill in our details, address, car reg etc, and signed with signature. Following this the so called manager, asked for our credit card details, for security reasons. No problem there, you would think, except to our horror, returned overour little piece of paper with our details on, and proceeded to write our our credit card details on the back, card number, expiry, cvc number, the works. When we questioned this, he told us this was his policy, however was unable to show me the policy! Reiterating all the time he was the manager, and saying the slips of paper will be kept in a safe till we leave, not to mention who would have access to them while we were there for the few days! |Finally consenting to remain there, he showed us to our "family room". Two single beds one double, and no bathroom! |The toilets for the ladies were at the end of a long dark corridor, outside, and around the corner, with the toilets and the shower in one. The mens bathroom, albeit at the end of the long corridor, was inside! |Also the room was freezing and the old claptout heater didnt work.|We decided to leave, cancelled our booking. On speaking to the owner on leaving, the manager was not the manager, and seemingly they're always written person credit card details on the flimsy piece of paper, and I was the only one to complain! I personally find that very hard to believe. |So we checked out and into a much nicer, cheaper, warmer apartment with the facilities on the inside if the room!! |I've included some pictures. I would not stay here, especially as a family. If your a single travelling man, go for it. But not acceptable!!...

Our first visit to Australia and bit of a drive from Kinross but what the heck, after some research I picked the York for our stay and I'm delighted. If you are looking for old world charm & character then this is the hotel for you !|Our room was spacious, bed very comfortable, fridge ,tv and coffee making facilities. What we didn't have was our own bathroom ( perhaps some other rooms do ? ) this was an oversight by me as I assumed it would but that bring said the shared toilet & shower was more than adequate, very clean , hot water with good pressure and fresh towels in your bedroom so it actually turned out fine. |Then you have the bar downstairs, very reminiscent of our travels in the USA, proper old time saloon. |Excellent range of drinks on tap or fridge, we tried the Swan Draft, light & crisp which is just what we needed after 620 kms trust me on that. |So now we're hungry and the menu is quite extensive, we shared the nachos and then I had the grilled baramundi with veg etc & my wife the fried fish sandwich, both very nice but the baramundi was best 👌 |For breakfast it's self service continental, but way more than you'd expect with great choice of cereals, 4 types of bread + muffins , lots of fruit in the fridge, many yogurts etc etc |In our opinion excellent value, spotlessly clean, cracking location from which to explore the mines with parking at the back ( only 2hrs parking at the front) |It's...
