The breakfast selection offered a great choice. The gluten-free area with its own bread and toaster was a refreshing change. I found the staff excellent. They were attentive and helpful, even during busy periods. My room had crisp bedding, ensuring a restful night.
The hotel car park was small, requiring me to use the Baltic car park. It cost an additional £30 for a 13-hour stay.
