Not the prettiest...but looks can be deceptive!!
Pros:

One of our favourite Best Western Hotels..Situated right on Aberavon seafront. Which is known locally as Holywood.
Don't be fooled by the outward appearance...once you have parked in the free car park and entered the front doors. You are in fairly large and well run hotel. Large bar/lounge area. Lovely dining room.. lift to all floors.. well equipped and comfortable bedrooms. Many with sea views, and some also dog friendly.
The staff are all friendly, professional and helpful...wanting to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
Can't recommend this hotel enough.
Perfect location for exploring South Wales..situated in Port Talbot directly opposite the tidal beach. Just a short walk across the green...with an amazing sandy beach when the tide is out.
Adjacent to the hotel is a Leisure centre...with a Cinema and restaurants beyond that.
Swansea is approx 15 miles away. With the Mumbles and the stunning Gower peninsula a further few miles away..
