We stayed in the king room with balcony and loved it! The room was HUGE! The balcony had an ocean view and we enjoyed every second of our stay. If the staff wasn’t at the desk they were there within seconds of pressing the bell to assist. Can’t wait to be back next year for our yearly trip to York!

Choose your room carefully!

There were stains on the sofa, rug and chairs. The bed was a residential spare bedroom type, not a commercial hotel bed. People were nice, but haven't offered an explanation or talk about a refund, so after service service isn't good either Broken blinds.

The property has lost the charm it had from the previous owners. Rooms and bed were much smaller than when I stayed here last. Had issues with the ceiling fan and the TV all weekend. TV would randomly turn off and ceiling fan had 1 speed. - very slow. Room not cleaned on Saturday - had to ask for clean towels. I was very disappointed and will probably not stay here again.

Decent value for the price

Not a bad place to stay. Our king deluxe room (#11) was spacious and comfortable. They could invest in larger TVs, but at least there is one. Room was clean and in decent shape for the most part - carpet was quite stained. Pool area, and hot tub in good shape and clean. Pretty good value for the price.

Ok stay

Although the bed was comfortable and the linens clean, the carpet had a musty smell and seemed better days. The lobby was updated and clean. Everyone I encountered was friendly. Unfortunately, I could hear someone constantly walking around the room above which kept me awake. Also, there were no extra blankets for the beds.

Staff was extremely polite,helpful and expediant,altho no early checkin. Front room door needed paint and bathroom door missing hook and blankets had to be requested. Great location to lighthouse ,long and short sands beach,downtown york beach ,hwys access...tv too small as well and no timer on remote. Free coffee altho needs flavored ones. Not sure but should offer beach parking,at least validation. Would stay again.
