Good location, good property, staff and food. A few issues.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Food was good.

Cons:

We stayed overnight in a heatwave. The window would only open a small amount (jammed). A fan was provided but was small and ineffective given the heat. The coffee maker did not work, though we followed the instructions to the letter.

Having to change lifts to get from the ground floor to 3rd floor. Fine for people without mobility issues but difficult for people with mobility issues.

Dated Hotel close to Mt Snowdon
Pros:

Close to Snowdon for a hike to the summit.

Cons:

The hotel was a little dated with limited selection of hot food for breakfast. The bathroom in the room was very small, had the bath panel half off and broken pedistall. Floors uneven with carpet lifting up in corridors and 2 lifts needed to get to the 3rd floor with a walk in between.
