Parking was simple and just round the corner. Had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again. Our only feedback would be that the bed was very firm so a mattress topper might offer a little more comfort but otherwise everything was great! ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hazel M. 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### York stay The property was ideally situated for very easy access into the city.
