Re your GF enquiry: The following advice was provided by the hotel: GF food available. Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Sausages, Grilled tomatoes, Gluten free muffins(on Request), gluten free muesli, gluten free bread. In addition they also have fresh whole fruit, and cut fruits, yoghurt and salad. Notify Reception on arrival of your GF requirement and they will connect you with the chef to discuss your specific GF preferences.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a 24-hour service... so if, like me, you will be arriving in the middle of the night, unfortunately you would need to get other means of transportation to the hotel

Breakfast is available from Monday - Friday 6:30am - 10:00am Saturday and Sunday 7:00am - 10:30am
