amazing location, amazing stay!

excellent locationfriendly staffeasy reachradiator noise
the location is just spot on.. so close to the main attractions and also the train station! i hopped on a bus to robin hood's bay and whitby. it cost very little each way. i also used the nearby tram, and that really helped me avoid a huge climb. the staff were super friendly, always smiling and offering help.
the radiator in my room made a strange noise at night. it sounded like it was trying to fill up with something, kind of distracting when i was trying to sleep.
