Room was spacious and accommodated our group perfectly for our girls weekend away. Great view of York beach from our balcony. However, there was no staff on site all weekend. I was notified that the office would be closing at 3 on Friday, and how to access our room keys, but this message didn't state that the office would be closed all weekend. We also had issues with one of the TVs in the room and couldn't get in touch with anyone to resolve the issue.
