The rooms were perfect - modern decor, spotlessly clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a great view onto the resident's garden. The only minor downside was that it was a bit dark and could do with a window in the bathroom.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a lovely garden area for residents. The service was friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The location is convenient for exploring York with easy access to the Park and Ride service. The dining experience provided great quality food and service. However, the rooms would benefit from black-out curtains, and daily servicing needs improvement if not requested specifically.
