• What Our Guests Have to Say •

I spent two nights here while in town for a dog show. There is plenty of outside space to walk dogs. The room was large and clean. I appreciate having a fridge and Keurig in the room since I didn’t have time to go to breakfast in the hotel. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in York, PA.
