Our Favorite Beachfront Hotel
Highly recommend the Union Bluff and the top floor rooms at the Meeting House. Room and view are fantastic and the Pub has great food and service. A little disappointed the ice machine in the Meeting House never seems to work and they don't have continental breakfast in the summer. Overall, a great place to stay!

Family friendly A+ location
The location for Union Bluff makes it a great place to stay. I have been coming to this hotel since I was a child and I am now nearly 40. We always stay in the annex, which is very family friendly. Close to everything to walk or just hang out in your room.

Comfortable Night
Beautiful location on short sands beach in York. There was a storm during our stay, and the waves just across the street from the hotel were amazing. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and the staff were very welcoming!

There was a mix up with servicing the room but the hotel acknowledged their mistake and serviced the room after normal hours to make it right.
