Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very helpful staff but no WiFi in the rooms and we had to ask for an extender in the room because there was only 1 outlet for 4 people. There was also mold on walls. The location is very convenient since it is a quick walk from the Snowdon Ranger path. The street parking was very limited and we had to pay 8 quid for the day
