I noted its quiet location in a residential area, offering a more relaxed stay. The self-check-in adds a touch of independence, while the locally sourced breakfast provides a taste of Scarborough.”

Wonderful Stay

efficient systemroom sizedining roomrestful room
The front door code and my room number arrived in a timely email. This system felt very efficient. The room had nice qualities. The shower provided good water pressure, I noticed. The room size suited me well. It sits only a short distance from the railway station, which I considered convenient. The spacious and clean bathroom was great. A fridge stood ready, an unexpected but welcomed feature. Breakfast time occurred in a well laid out dining room. I enjoyed a vegetarian breakfast, and it was delicious. My dog joined me, made me happy. The beds and chairs in the bedroom are cozy. The staff responded quickly to my needs and questions. The room provided ample space. I felt happy with how easy checkout went. I found the room restful.
The room was a bit cold at first.

The breakfast dining room was set out well. I enjoyed a vegetarian breakfast and my husband had the full English (it looked delicious!). We appreciated that our dog could join us for breakfast. The beds and chairs in the bedroom were very comfy.
The room I stayed in felt a little small with having a dog. The television was also very small for the size of the room. The remote controls did not work on the first night, frustrating for my partner.
