Best way to spend a night before taking the ferry to Ireland
Pros:

The hotel is located next to the harbour, with great views. We walked the coastal path in the late afternoon along the beautiful cliffs of Holyhead Mountain, with many signs of ancient civilisation. The restaurant in the hotel serves good food, and had also a reasonable choice of vegetarion options. There is ample parking space, and places to sit outside and enjoy the evening sun.

Cons:

Given the fact that many of the visitors might be staying to take the ferry to Ireland next day, it would be recommended to offer some sort of breakfast earlier in the morning. Another point to consider is that the furniture in the room (especially the beds) is not very sturdy.

Dated in all senses, low value for money and would not likely return.
Pros:

Location over marina…should be a gold mine.

Cons:

Beyond quirky. Recognise that a change of management has occurred however to realistically become the potential it has, then significant training and investment is required.
