The hotel had a mixed experience with some positives and areas for improvement. The rooms were on two levels and a bit stuffy, but the cooked breakfast was better than dinners. Service varied from unfriendly at breakfast to very friendly and efficient, with clean rooms throughout the hotel. The location was convenient to explore, being close to the town center and easy to find while driving around North Wales. The dining options were decent, though not outstanding. A pleasant stay overall with room for enhancements in the menu and service communication.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms, though not soundproof, were comfortable, and having a separate bed for my grandchild was convenient. However, there were cleanliness issues with dust and items found under the bed. The staff were accommodating and friendly, particularly when assisting with accessibility needs, but more could be done for disabled guests. The location was excellent, catering well to hikers and providing a quaint experience. The dining aspect was a mix; while the evening meals were brilliant, there were some shortcomings with organization. Facilities were satisfactory but could use improvements.
