Ideal overnight stop in a nice town, with an easy train ride into York

Well located, only a few minutes from the railway station with parking. Clean, warm and comfortable with a friendly welcome.

Nothing, all good for what I wanted, an overnight, reasonably priced stay close to York

Ideal for meeting up with my son who lives in Selby
Pros:

The Location is ideal for me as my son lives in Selby, so its perfect for a catch up, its also right next door to the Abbey.

Cons:

no longer offer food and the cleanliness of the room, my partner found a pair of women's pants from a previous guest in our room and the rooms could do with an upgrade.

Pros:

Location was fine

Cons:

Cracked sink! Old style plug sockets that didn't even match the bedside lamp. No food options on offer. A town centre pub with poor quality rooms.

Good budget option to spend a night or two
Pros:

Friendly staff, good price, didn't have any noise disturbance. The room was big and there was plenty of parking.

Cons:

The mattress was so firm it was bordering on painful to sleep on.
The bathroom had mildew/mould in all the grout and silicone sealant, and whilst it seemed pretty clean otherwise, it didn't make for a relaxing place to have a bath when looking at black mould everywhere.
The shower head didn't clip in properly and was a bit of a balancing act to stop from failing down on you.
