The location offers convenient access to town. A bus stop nearby serves Sandsend and Robin Hoods Bay. On-site parking IS A real convenience.
The bathroom felt too small. Stains marked the bedroom carpet. The pillows were too hard for my preference.

adequate but with issues

clean roomsmall bathroomthin walls
the room was clean, which i appreciated.
The bathroom was quite small. It felt cramped. additionally, the walls seemed thin because i could hear a lot of noise from other rooms. This made it hard to relax. the lack of soundproofing was disappointing, though.
