Bike & Boot
We've been to Bikeboot more than once. The staff are super friendly, and it's ideal for dog owners, as it's a dog-friendly hotel. The bedrooms are lovely, and it's in an ideal area of Scarborough, as it's within walking distance of everywhere. The food is lovely too.

Palm Court Hotel
Parking was included in a private car park 50yds round the corner which was open all day and I believe secured overnight. Very handy as Scarborough is a pain to park in.

Comfortable bed, some noise from people on the landing as there was a gap at the bottom of the door but this was only a minor inconvenience. Friendly staff, plenty of teacand coffee in the room too.
