Great location in York, close to the beach and the main town. Affordable price for a solid, normal room. Comfortable stay for a long weekend. Not the newest property but clean and nice. I would definitely stay again when coming back to York.

Overall ok but definitely overpriced and the staff was a bit rude when I arrived. I didn't even realize their was a hot tub until then last day. I had no idea coffee was available in the lobby, either. I felt like I was a more of a bother than a guest.

A convenient place to stay for easy access to Long Sands Beach and short drive to the lighthouse and Short Sands Beach. Room was clean and comfy but could use some updating. Rug was very worn and curtains were stained along the bottom. Would be useful to have a table for the coffee maker and proper amt of coffee to make 5 cups instead of a single serving. Front desk staff very friendly and happy people. I’d definitely consider booking again.
