Great views on the water, older place
Pros:

Great views on the beach, bed was good. Place shows its age but best price for the view you get. If your on the second or third floor you have to go up some small stairs

Pros:


The ocean view was breathtaking. The room was clean. My Keurig wasn't working. The people next door the first night were very loud. All in all, though, a great stay, and the price was very good.

Ocean view
Pros:

Decent view of the ocean across the road. Room was small but nice and reasonably updated. Hot water was a little unpredictable during the morning shower. House keeping staff does a nice job.

Surprised by the comfort and best views.
Pros:

This is such a nice and comfortable place to stay. Very clean. Great ocean views. Its all been recently updated. Easy check in and pleasant staff. The best part is the balcony. Comfortable chairs perfect to view sunrise over the ocean. The bed is made up very nicely with at least 4 pillows. Having a Keurig and a fridge is a nice touch too.

Pros:

Great location. Clean. Ocean view.
But the price is way too high. It could be definitely reduced. They want to make as much as profit in summer, so they hike up the price very unreasonably.

Pros:

This place was absolutely spectacular! The atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall experience were top-notch. My only minor complaint is the bathroom setup—there’s no counter or shelf space for toiletries, just a pedestal sink and a toilet. A small shelf or table would make a big difference in convenience. Still, we loved our stay and would definitely come back!

Pros:

Beautiful view of york beach. The chairs on the balcony are very uncomfortable. The bathroom is very outdated. Tub faucets coming out of the wall, soap dish tarnished. Water temp a bit difficult to control. No room in bathroom for anything. No bathroom fan. For what they charge per night, i expected better. Very clean though. Bed comfortable. Front desk nice and responsive and helpful.
