Thanks a lot for sharing. I have traveled dozens of times to the Trojmiasto (Threecity) for work (also combined with leisure from time to time) and I found it very amusing to read about your experiences in Hel. Thanks for keeping out the Polish jokes, that's a shiny and bright move. Polish people and Poland are actually great once you've taken some years to get to know them.

Anyway, I'm sure you've had a Hel of a time there!

Sopot still is a fancy resort town. They still have 2 great hotels there, both at the end of Monte Cassino and near the pier. The Sheraton is the first (my pick, staying there often), which is a 5 star resort, fairly new and modern and with great rooms and superb breakfast.
The other one is next door, the Grand Hotel. It's also 5 star, but 50 years behind, a tad worn. Naturally, this is the one Putin hires (yes, the whole hotel) when he visits the region. It's my second choice, though.
