The hotel is not directly on the beach, but very close. The room was very nice and comfortable. Although they said the room was on the second floor, it was 5 flights of stairs to get there. Not easy for an senior to haul luggage all the way to the top.

We stayed in the king room with balcony and loved it! The room was HUGE! The balcony had an ocean view and we enjoyed every second of our stay. If the staff wasn’t at the desk they were there within seconds of pressing the bell to assist. Can’t wait to be back next year for our yearly trip to York!

Decent value for the price

Not a bad place to stay. Our king deluxe room (#11) was spacious and comfortable. They could invest in larger TVs, but at least there is one. Room was clean and in decent shape for the most part - carpet was quite stained. Pool area, and hot tub in good shape and clean. Pretty good value for the price.

Nice quiet beachside hideaway.

From the time we check in the staff was awesome! Friendly and helpful. Having easy parking in close proximity to the beaches was a great perk and the pool was perfect for familys and adults with the added perk of a hottub. Bed was softer then I like but for a beach side stay the lighthouse is perfect!

Staff was extremely polite,helpful and expediant,altho no early checkin. Front room door needed paint and bathroom door missing hook and blankets had to be requested. Great location to lighthouse ,long and short sands beach,downtown york beach ,hwys access...tv too small as well and no timer on remote. Free coffee altho needs flavored ones. Not sure but should offer beach parking,at least validation. Would stay again.
