The bedding and pillows were nice, very clean just a damp room/wardrobe
Pros:

Not good, but liked the oj and the cup of tea. Requested poached egg and that was perfect!

Cons:

Hot breakfast had both hot and cold items, should have all been hot!fried bread was a crust(!!) and items were clearly reheated items. Had to launder items stored in wardrobe as smelled and unusable on break.no proper shower, spray was on taps but no holder to make shower nor curtain.

Pros:

Excellent location, great quality food at a great price and FABULOUS staff.

Cons:

Some bits of the hotel are a little tired but they are refurbishing some rooms and it’s reflected in the price.

I would be very interested to visit again next year to see how the renovations have improved things
Pros:

The staff were great from the moment we arrived. The hotel was undergoing renovations so certain areas were a bit "tired" but the public areas were quite comfortable.
Dinner was good but we left early for a ferry so didn't have breakfast.

Brilliant location for Holyhead
Pros:

Great location for getting to Holyhead for the ferry

Cons:

During our stay there was a function on downstairs so music was loud until late into the night, only downside to the stay. As we were up early for the ferry it was hard to sleep

Unfriendly, but comfortable.
Pros:

The location was good. The room was basic but comfortable. Lots of parking.

Cons:

Unwelcoming staff. The fact the manager (i think he was the manager) wasn't certain what time check in was after we returned to the desk, as the cleaning lady was still working in our room. ( The cleaning lady was the only welcoming/friendly member of staff we met). 20 questions to find out about breakfast and evening meals. We didn't eat there.

Literally somewhere for a roof over my head to be honest.
Pros:

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Cons:

- the hotel needs a good overhaul of decor. Carpet, furnishings etc. Felt a little like staying in Faulty towers.
- The bed was so hard that I actually looked under the sheet to see if it has a wooden board placed over the mattress. I didn't sleep at all, which was especially frustrating as I booked to stay there following my climb of Mt. Snowdon so I really needed to sleep!
