Duke of York Motor Hotel, Yorktown

The Duke of York is not a 4 star hotel, but it gets 5 stars from us for a wonderful get away with views of the river and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are clean enough and the restaurant in the hotel is FANTASTIC! We always leave happy. Great seafood meals and wonderful friendly service. Yorktown is a wonderful town to walk and shop. We recommend it!

We have stayed at The Duke of York several times in the last 3 years since our children moved to Yorktown. It has become a sentimental place for us since that's where we stayed when both of our grandchildren were born. I would have expected some improvements to the rooms in the last 3 years but didn't see any during our last stay a month ago. It has the same dirty bedspreads and the carpets were so dirty I wouldn't walk barefooted on them. I hate to see this little jewel of a place go down hill like it has. PLEASE!!! Clean it up. We wouldn't even mind paying a little more if it were updated.

The only thing I liked about it was that the water was right there... but other then that... First my little sister found a CRACK SPOON under the bed!!! Second I left a very nice jacket there and I'm still calling them to send it to me!! Customer service is BAD, I would never go back there again!!!!

The Duke of York was all in all a decent place. The room was very clean; the decor was a little old & out dated. There was a very light stale odor, but the scented candle took care of that. I would say interior wise I would compare it to a Motel 8 or Red Roof Inn. Some rooms had private balconies, which I would say gave a awesome view of the beach & river walk, we stayed on the hillside rooms, which also had a nice porch type balcony overlooking the river. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The hotel offers a great view of the York River & right across the street from the beach, river walk (restaurants & stores). Everything is within walking distance & the trolley stops across the street & gives a tour of the town for free. If you want a decent place to lay your head, relax & excellent location, Duke of York is a good choice. I plan to go back again someday.

Rooms stink!!Carpet fuul of stains.....also the furniture. Pillows disgusting..and the worst bathroom area a mess....!!! Bad customer service...very argumentative.......I regret making reservation in that Crappy place.

Yorktown is a nice little hidden town, Takes a while to get there but well worth the trip. Duke of Your was cleaner than I expected and the view was great. I didn't try out the pool, but the river beach front was awesome. Went for my honeymoon and plan to return someday.

Where hotel prices by the beach are $250 per night or more, one or two that are fantastic with a lot value stand before us. This is the one in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Although it is noty directly on the beach people want to be on (Virginia Beach), there is a lot of shopping, history, and attractions that are just footsteps away. The Duke of York Motel has been on that beachfront landscape for almost 3 generations. It prices range from $50 or less in the winters and $100 or less in the summer. Although due to the blustery cold gust in the wintertime due to its coastal area, I would not recommend going to this hotel or any beachside hotel in the winter. It is phonominal in the summer due to the renovated waterfront called Riverside that has a great restaurant. But if you want malls and stuff like that you can have a 10 minute drive to Newport News, Hampton, or Williamsburg for more shopping and restaurants. Although like most family-run motels, they aren't the Williamsburg Inn 10 miles away. But it's the best value in Hampton Roads for value and proximity to the beach.

The service was great. The food in the restaurant is excellent. The rooms could use updating, but overall it was a wonderful place. Great views and very charming. Cant wait to go back.

When my husband and I got married,one of our gifts was a 2 night stay at the Duke Of York. I upgraded the room to a jacuzzi room. We had a wonderful time. Plenty of places to eat and things to see. Both the Pub nearby,and the hotel restaurant were very good. We have stayed there twice now and will stay again in the future.Ask for the jacuzzi room,it's worth the extra money.

the duke of york is a very quaint hotel, always enjoy staying, but yoy have to try the food, breakfast and lunch is great nand at night you can get the same food you got a nicks seafood pavilion. nicks is now a parking deck.
