Reviews and Ratings
I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The proximity to the beach and lively area, along with a stunning view, made it a perfect choice. While the room was on the smaller side, it was clean and offered a beautiful ocean view. The dining was top-notch but slightly pricey for the portion sizes.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were very homey and spacious, the staff was kind and personable, and the pub food was delicious. The breakfast room with a fireplace and bar added charm, and the surrounding guests were courteous. The view was nice, and the service was outstanding with the hotel owner going above and beyond to assist us. The location was perfect, right near the beach and in a lively part of York Beach. Overall, a wonderful experience with just minor dining pricing issues.
The hotel is ideally located right across from the beach, offering a perfect spot to enjoy ocean views. The rooms were clean and decent, but some were smaller than expected. The service was good, and the dining experience was a mix of hits and misses. Overall, a great location with room for improvement in room size and dining options.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were homey and spacious, with a lovely deck overlooking the Atlantic ocean. The staff was kind and personable, and the pub food was delicious. The location, right on Short Sands' delightful cove beach, was the best part of my experience. However, the dining options were a bit pricey for the servings given.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were very homey and spacious, with a good-size bathroom/shower, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The pub food was delicious, and the breakfast room with a fireplace and bar added a cozy touch to my mornings. I loved that I could enjoy my coffee right in my room without having to rush down to the lobby. However, I must admit the price was a bit steep for what was offered, although the views of the beach from the room were truly spectacular.
