Room wasn't in very good condition - broken window, no lock on bathroom door, no fitting on end of bathroom pullcord, no bath or sink plugs. Beds were clean and comfortable and nice to have a fridge in the room. Would suggest self check in details are emailed to customers rather than longish number codes being relayed quickly in a telephone conversation - we'd just had a really long journey and were trying to juggle carrying luggage in with the phone.

After 4 hours of staying in the room a bug crawled across the sheet. When comparing this bug to an online search it is believed that this is a bed bug. Collections of bugs were found around the seems of the headboard.

When arrived, had to call a mobile to check in and was given a code for front door, then a code for the room, which seemed strange, but once in the room there was a key card, so was fine. Clean and tidy. Fridge in room as well as tea, coffee and bottled water. Had to hunt for the towels, as they were in the wardrobe! I (female) was staying with my young son and was concerned about the front door. Everytime we went in or out, it was either not shut correctly or someone had left it with the Yale lock unlocked, so anyone could walk in. You had to make a concerted effort to make sure the door locked, so being open could have been by accident, but when unlocked, someone had to have done that on purpose. There was parking at the rear, but this was reduced due to a truck being parked there, and how it was parked limited number of cars that could park without blocking in other cars. There was also a few spaces to park on the main road. Overall, the place was good, in a good location for the city centre, clean and value for money.

Recently had a stay here and have no complaints, the check in was nice and easy. The lady that did our check in was informative and friendly, didn't leave us needing anything. The room was clean and the room had complimentary bottled water and biscuits. If you need a well priced place to stay near York centre I'd recommend here
