A deep clean required urgently in the Sidings.

Stayed in accessibile room in The Sidings. Room stank when we arrived (bathroom smelt of very sweaty feet; room of general funk). Staff returned to re-clean but we still needed to leave both windows open for all 3 days we were there. Knew we were in an accessible room - no others available - but having stayed in this hotel on multiple previous occasions did not expect any of the issues we found. The room's poor condition and the size of the bed (standard double - which moved when leant against) was a huge disappointment. It is in the process of being redecorated in the main building so can only hope that the extension will be next on the list. In the meantime bringing in a carpet cleaning company would help. In an attempt to find out the source of the smell, I cleaned various surfaces in the rooms and on the final evening when cleaning the rim of the toilet was disgusted with the result. Sadly I think it will be a while before I return to the Royal York (now known as the Milner).
