Thought I'd stay over night rather than getting the late ferry arriving in Dublin 1:50am, I so wish I'd got the ferry - would have saved money and probably been more comfortable. Feel like I've been ripped off paying for something that failed to deliver. No restaurant, no bar, no staff (that I saw). Room was fairly clean to be fair but bathroom smelt, no blind on window in a ground floor bathroom ! Very, very tired unloved place, think I was 1 of only 3 people staying there. Premier Inn would have been better option and I normally avoid them favouring none chain hotels.
Breakfast - laid out at the foot of stairs next to fire exit, no seating. Help yourself and take it back to room. Not quite same as web-site.

The gentleman in charge was lovely, however it was disappointing to discover the breakfast was only cereal, pre-packed pastries and yoghurt to eat in your room, and the quality of the tea was very poor. A hotel with so much potential, but sadly fading.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, the Continental breakfast was adequate. Out of 25 rooms, only about 3 were occupied, there was no restaurant service, and it felt as if the hotel was "winding down".

I don't want to do it down as the room was brilliant and a really comfortable bed. The hotel is up for sale, all the staff were made redundant last October. There is no kitchen therefore no meals. The breakfast was 'grab and go', cereal, cakes, yoghurt, no option for diabetics.

Avoid if you can

Check in was perfunctory. Not told about WIFI, just where room was across the car park and continental breakfast was in a room near the stairs. This was little bigger than a cupboard with boxes of cereal, some fruit and a small wine fridge with out of date milk, yogurts and orange juice, an individually packaged croissants and marmalade - who eats croissants with marmalade. There was a microwave to warm croissants. There was nowhere to sit so had to take to room where there was no table. The TMV valves were missing on radiators so couldn't regulate the heat. Room was clean but very old and needing a major upgrade. Lighting was poor and unable to read a book, TV was old flat screen, not a SMART one. The wet room had good shower but no fan that worked the switch was tapped over with insulation tape. The cleaner said that she could not sort the milk situation out till the bosses arrived at 9.30am. So we found out there was no one on site overnight!! For £108 a night this was very poor and we should have gone to the travel lodge

Ordered a triple room but got a double bed and a single which meant sharing a bed! Breakfast is cereal and packet pastries that you help yourself to and take back to your room. Room was clean but tired. Staff were really nice.

When I arrived at the Hotel I was told there was no hot food that evening and that the bar would only be open until 8pm. Therefore I had to drive out to find hot food. There was only a continental breakfast available from a very small room with no tables or chairs so could only be eaten in your bedroom, not ideal. The room was good but was cold and the knobs on the radiators removed so you couldn’t adjust anything. The bathroom was a wet room which didn’t drain very well so room was soon flooding and the shower didn’t get hot so had to have cold shower. Overall not up to standard.

The room was a really good size with all the amenities you need, bed was really comfortable so I got a good night's sleep, bath room spotless with a very powerful shower all in all fault less. The restaurant was closed and the bar only opened for limited hours when these are fully opened and they are to the same standard as the room I will give this A5 star rating

Basic Clean Accommodation

Overall good stay but basic accommodation. The breakfast was continental which was in a refrigerator downstairs so we had to bring it back to eat in our room which was upstairs this could be difficult for some people. A good base to explore the surrounding areas at a fair price.

Not worth the money

The lady on reception and the cleaner were lovely. The bedding was clean The towels were clean but smelt of bleach. The bedroom area was clean and tidy. The bathroom had loads of mould. Water pressure is low and like the rest of the room and hotel in general it is very dated. Breakfast is a help yourself, cornflakes, orange juice and fruit which is situated in the hall. Staff told us that the hotel closed its doors 18 months ago and has been up for sale since then. The kitchens are closed and the nearest place to eat is in the next town, about a five minute drive away. To keep on top of the bills, 8 rooms in an annex building, are being rented out. We booked for two nights and if we could we would have asked for our money back and left immediately. As it was we stopped for just one night and left. We feel ripped off with the economical description of, " Hotel not working at full capacity" and "Kitchens are temporarily closed!"

The breakfast was a disgrace, The location of the food terrible. If you are locked out of your room at night and you have left your mobile phone in the room, there is no way of contacting the Manager. There was mould and dirt between the bathroom tiles. It took over 5 minutes for the showers to get warm water. The soup was a tablet less than the size of a 50p and opened was in fragments. My feet were touching the bottom of the bed with little room. Getting in and out of the high sided bath was dangerous, there where no grab bars to assist. Traffic noise was a nuisance.

One night in Anglesey

Easy to find with a large parking. Calm room despite in front of the main road but it's far away to be the highway. Clean and spacious room with alll amenities. Great and warm shower. Breakfast consists in a single take away buffet and a fridge with milk and juices, with very few choices, in a tiny room. So don't expect a traditionnal cooked british breakfast.

In Limbo

I have stayed at this hotel before that’s why I rebooked, unfortunately I was told at check in that the restaurant was closed and no food was available. The bar was open until 9.00 pm. I was told breakfast would be available, self service but when I left at 7.00 am this was not available. Overall, good location, good parking, but could be a lot better. The manager explained that they were “trying to retire “. Someone take it on and release it full potential.
