Relaxing after stressful time at work
Pros:

Choice of breakfast
Location - easy walk into town onto beach

Cons:

I was ok but I am not sure I was asked if I was ok with stairs as no lift to the room I was staying in
The door to the bathroom didn't shut properly - not sure if the fan worked as a result so opened window to let out steam

Pros:

Good location, breakfast superb, family room extremely spacious.

Cons:

My 84 year old mums room was directly above the event and there was extremely loud music playing late
Numerically the rooms were next to each other 124 & 126 but physically they were not actually next to each other.

Perfect location. Lovely, friendly staff.
Pros:

We’ve stayed here at least a dozen times. It’s half way between home and family. The hotel is perfectly located; right on the beach, 10 minutes walk into town with lots of shops, restaurants and bars.
10 minutes walk to a lovely cinema too. Staff are lovely. Hotel is very clean and dog friendly too.

Cons:

The standard rooms are a bit on the small side but are comfortable.

Nice hotel in a convenient location.
Pros:

Check in great, staff very friendly. Nice bar which was not too expensive. Breakfast was good as well with helpfull staff.

Cons:

There was a party on in the main ballroom which we didn't know about when booking but could be heard from our room. Would have asked for a quiet room when booking if so. Only went on until midnight though so not too bad

We always return to The Glendower and it has all the qualities of a great hotel. Accommodation and food are first class.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable and lovely atmosphere.

Cons:

We have stayed several times over past 8 years however the bed this time was far too short for two adults slightly over average height.

Do not look at the poor state of decor
Pros:

Location was fine, we have stayed before and we always remembered the breakfast as so good!
Perhaps we should not have returned

Cons:

Breakfast. They need a new chef. Bacon must be cooked early and be under lights. Leathery. My wife was even offered an uncooked egg. Hash browns full of oil. Perhaps deep fay fryer was not hot enough. Croissants were frozen then heated. Not nice.
