i appreciated the easy walk to the city center from bishopthorpe road , right across from the winning post pub. our room provided all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. i found the option for free on-street parking very convenient.
the pressure in the shower wasn't amazing , and a multi-setting head would have improved it.

The room was spacious. It featured two large beds. The bathroom included both a shower and a bathtub. This was very convenient for my family. A fridge was available in the room. A kettle was also provided, as well as a TV. There was even a fan. This helped with the warmer weather.
The telephone check-in felt impersonal. I prefer a face-to-face welcome.
