Anchorage Inn and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel clean, beds comfortable, a bit pricey but worth it."

The Pioneer - York Beachfront living

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful home. Can’t say enough about the location and cleanliness of this house. We went off season early May so can’t say it was busy but love the beach views and open large first floor for hanging out and having meals with friends. Pretty much everything you need is there."

The Lighthouse Inn & Suites

4/10 Poor

"The staff wasn’t super friendly, we waited for around 30 minutes waiting for someone to help us check in. One person saw us waiting and just walked away. Very uncomfortable first start. The room had about 3 outlets and the only one nearby was behind the nightstand. The lighting in the room consisted of 3 lamps, one of the lamps bulb was blown. The sink and shower were both clogged, the shower had a clump of hair in the tub. The carpet had hair all through it. I dropped my ring and it was covered in random hair. The towel rails were also broken. As someone who does their hair and makeup and likes to look in a full body mirror before going out, there wasnt a full sized mirror. The hot tub sadly wasn’t open which was my mistake because I didn’t read when it would be open. We were very close to the beach but didn’t have a beach view. The curtains also didn’t fully cover the windows, there were blinds under them but it didn’t feel very private. The tv for entertainment was also very small which isn’t a big deal but overall, my experience from this was one of the worst I’ve had, especially for around 150 a night. We did want to just spend the one night due to everything and not stay for the 2nd night but there would have been no refunds for the 2nd night. They said “they would get ahold of me” after they contacted the manager, in which they never did. I would not recommend this place. I definitely could have spent what I did somewhere else that would have been more clean."
