Any suggestions for a hotel in York?

[Rockatansky]

I'm heading to York on the w/e of the 4th & 5th July to attend the drag racing.

I was originally going to just go for the day on Saturday, but if I can turn this into a weekend away then it might work out in my favour

So... any ideas for somewhere nice to stay in York?

Preferably central as I'd have to be leaving the other half there during at least one day, not crazy expensive but nice would be nice. Parking would be good too. Good food & beer etc.

I've never been to York so don't really know the layout etc.

Thanks
