This hotel is in a great location, but is sorely in need of updates. Beyond that, we found out when we arrived that they had somehow mistakenly made pur resevation for October instead of April. We were able to clear things up and luckily they stIll had a room availble. Howevever when we checked out the next morning we found... More

We stayed one night in early Feb., and hope to return again when the weather is a little nicer. The hotel had a great view of the river and bridge. We had a room right over the reception area, with it's own balcony. Yorktown was very quiet when we were there, but sightseeing on foot was enjoyable even in the... More

This is a quick trip from RIC. Duke of York has a great view of the York River, is a minute's walk to Yorktown Pub, plenty of places to walk to with a view of the river. Maybe not somewhere to go for more than a few days, but relaxing. The Duke of York rooms are BIG. Not modern, but... More

We stayed here the weekend of Oct. 21-23. We got married in Yorktown, at the Watermans Museum on that Saturday. The months preceding the big day, I worked closely with the manager, Ruth. She and I spoke frequently to make sure all of the guests were getting appropriate rooms ect. Upon arrival, she greeted us with a very warm welcome!... More

However once I arrived at the duke of york the young man at the lobby desk was very helpful and friendly. The rooms are outdated and... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Duke of York while visiting our son at the US Coast Guard Training Center. We do alot of traveling along the east coast of the US and the atmosphere at The Duke of York was in keeping with an appreciation of the spirit of America, a welcomed change from the sterile chain hotels....

The rooms were very clean. A little "dated" but otherwise nice. The private balcony made for a nice extra touch. Had it not been pouring rain it would have been perfect for coffee in the morning. The beach, the dock, shops and pub just a few steps away make for a perfect weekend getaway.

This is our 4th year staying at The Duke of York. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The Manager is a lovely woman who makes sure everyone feels welcomed. The view of the beach, river and bridge are simply beautiful. Great place to relax.

I stay here because of the location to the Yorktown Pub. I have stage here on and off for twenty some odd years and the place never changes. You have a great view of the river and the rooms are really reasonable. If you are looking for luxury this is not the place, but if you need a clean room... More
