Clean inside. The property outside was not magnificent, but that didn’t matter. Being able to walk to Long Beach, Nubble lighthouse, and short beach to shops and dining was awesome. Staff was nice, the stay was very nice!

Cute and convenient
The hotel was clean and weel kept, though older and a mish mash of furniture. A good sized mini fridge with separate freezer and microwave. Plenty of towels and pillows. Room reset daily by housekeeping. A little seating area in the front hallway that looked over the parking lot. AC was a window unit and had a hard time keeping up. Mattresses were worn out, but pillows were ok. A proper drip coffee maker was a plus. Nice and quiet, off the main road. Easy walk to short and long sands beach as well as nubble lighthouse. No breakfast, but coffee offered all day in the lobby. Didn't use the pool or hot tub, but they seemed clean and well kept as well.

Disliked: Amenities
Very basic but clean room. If all you desire is a place to stay while you explore York and the surrounding towns with little or no time in the room, then this is fine. Do not expect an “Inn” experience. Short walking distance to long sands. We won’t stay here again when there are so many other good places to stay with a water view. We were disappointed but not unhappy.

Overall we had a nice stay. The A/C in our room didn’t blow very cold and the floor just inside our door was very soft and spongy so likely rotting out. The hot tub was great and the walk to either long sands or short sands beaches was very short.

Great stay. Wish I’d stayed longer. Staff kind and helpful. Rooms plenty of space. Couch not comfortable and TV small. Bathroom in need of some general maintenance, nothing major. Overall great stay and I’d go back again!

My stay was short and I did not need housekeeping services, so I cannot rate that. Otherwise, it was great. All the amenities I like (microwave, fridge, coffee machine, etc.) Very clean room when I arrived -- it even smelled good! Loved the walk to and from Short Sands and the Goldenrod restaurant, as well as to Long Sands.

The rooms were wonderful, however not as clean as they could’ve been we found cookies that we did not have underneath the bed. The parking was horrible if you have a bigger vehicle to get in and out of there. The pool was awesome.
