Parking available 👍 Location 👍 Towels & bedding SPOTLESS The whole property is in need of a refurbish! Our room, whilst dated but clean enough, had a dreadful musty, cat pee smell that pervaded everywhere … did ask for an air freshener ( which was provided) this is despite the window being wide open for fresh air

Recently had a stay here and have no complaints, the check in was nice and easy. The lady that did our check in was informative and friendly, didn't leave us needing anything. The room was clean and the room had complimentary bottled water and biscuits. If you need a well priced place to stay near York centre I'd recommend here

A trip to remember

Great experience for a self check in stay. We arrived late but was attended to well by a friendly staff who happened to be at the premise.
