Traditional hotel - great for a train trip up Mount Snowdon.
Pros:

The location is prefect to take the train up the mountain and the hotel has definitive flair. The personnel was really friendly when we arrived. It is not the newest hotel, but it is clean and comfortable. The breakfast was buffet styled and had everything needed. Parking was free and the car could stay on the parking lot while we took the train up Mount Snowdon.
