Ok. For starters when I came, there was work going on downstairs I wasn't really fussed as I was going out However when I was in my room a cleaning my ears, a man just walked it without knocking He just went... Oh!! Sorry!! I didn't realise this room was occupied!! Luckily, I was just cleaning my ears 👂👂 But what if I'd been getting intimate or i farted ect Then the manager came and he at least knocked and he said that he'll need to come in the room at 5pm to check out the radiator I said it was fine as I was gonna be out that night When I turned the telly on, the remote wasn't working So I had to change the channels the old fashioned way with the buttons The location is exceptional and the busses run right pass it as it's on a big road which goes right into York city centre The bed was amazing and a nice soft mattress You get complimentary tea, coffee and a couple of biscuits You have a mirror and a sink with no hot water Id say that you get what you pay for in this accomodation It's exceptional. Not good but not bad either 😕😕😕😕

Room wasn't in very good condition - broken window, no lock on bathroom door, no fitting on end of bathroom pullcord, no bath or sink plugs. Beds were clean and comfortable and nice to have a fridge in the room. Would suggest self check in details are emailed to customers rather than longish number codes being relayed quickly in a telephone conversation - we'd just had a really long journey and were trying to juggle carrying luggage in with the phone.

After 4 hours of staying in the room a bug crawled across the sheet. When comparing this bug to an online search it is believed that this is a bed bug. Collections of bugs were found around the seems of the headboard.
