Unkempt Disapointment

A three day stay. We were told this was unusual as most were one night stopovers waiting for ferry. On this basis you’d like to think you’d get allocated a reasonable room. I can’t speak for the rest of the hotel, only room 20. External room next to staff rooms? Ground floor, had to keep the curtains drawn all time and windows closed due to people outside the room talking. Very frustrating on hottest night of the year. No aircon and no fan. There seems to be a running joke about it being fawlty towers. Soon wears thin when you’ve paid £300 for a room. Breakfast is extra and we passed after one try. Very average. Fab breakfast just down the road at South Stack visitors centre. Eve meal , average, so didn’t bother again. Go over the road at Langdons , fantastic meal and service. The outside of the Hotel could be fabulous with a bay view, but it’s unkempt, full of weeds and rubbish. Dustbin and broken furniture outside our room was a nice touch. We would have checked out, but the town was busy and no other rooms were available. Such a shame as this hotel has great potential but needs so much attention paying to details. We enjoyed the area but won’t be returning to this hotel.

Its little cosy hotel. Very convenient for the ferry terminal. One thing I would suggest is to fix the shower temperature as it was not possible to get it right. It was either too hor or cold.

Extremely friendly, comfortable, and dog friendly. The food in the bar was properly home cooked and obviously not from a packet. While it's a bit of a walk to the docks, the hotel is right next to the Breakwater country park, allowing for scenic walks or runs.

It was very run down! We ordered breakfast at 7:15 arrived downstairs for the reception area to be dark unopened for business and then left at 7:30am without having breakfast! Nice friendly staff, but the decor and musty smell let the place down. There is a huge potential for the property!

Don’t stay here … at least not until they get it fixed up. The place is in major need of a remodel. No wifi no cable tv. Our toilet was so close to the sink you had to sit sideways. The shower hot water didn’t work in the AM. Worst was that the power went out at 12:30a and was out all night … as there was no one at the front desk to notify about the problem.

When I arrived, I was greeted by two dogs, best welcoming committee ever. Abby was very helpful at the front desk, and she walked me and showed me to my room. A service from the past. I walk to a beautiful view of the harbor.
