Clean room, clean bathroom with towels, hand wash and shower gel provided. Tea and coffee making facilities and tv.
You can bring your dog for £20 per stay.
Note.. no hairdryer
30 mins free wifi per 24hrs or £3 for a full 24hrs.
Dogs are £20 per stay not per night.
The bed was comfy though, but we didn't sleep much due to the heat.
The shower was pleasant, BUT the tray incredibly slippy bordering on the point of dangerous. Both of us slipped a few times. There needs to be a handrail or at least the tray made to be non slip. It would be lethal for someone who had poor mobility and/or eyesight.
Unfortunately the room only had 2 sockets, so charging phones and using the kettle, hairdryer, fan etc, was a bit of a pain. I'd recommend you take an extension lead with multi sockets.
We paid £22 for 2 days WIFI, but it was terrible and we couldn't get online despite us signing in and being logged on correctly. In the end, we just used the dongle we had luckily brought with us. We are awaiting a refund as it was totally unusable.
However, we did have a lovely breakfast box each day with cornflakes, milk, orange juice, flapjack and pain au chocolat, which was nice and cool and refreshing. There is a breakfast cafe a 2 minute walk from the hotel, if you fancy a cooked breakfast. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants in Porthmadog, but unfortunately they were all fully booked, so we opted for a fish and chips takeaway.
It's about a 12 mile drive to Barmouth, with an easily accessible beach, shops and cafes, so we decided to go there for a day, and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you can, go for a drive to Canarfon, the scenery is spectacular, especially for all you photographers out there!
All in all we were glad to leave, but the receptionists were lovely and friendly and very welcoming. I don't think we would go back again, which is a shame. The surrounding areas are beautiful though.
There are no catering facilities on site, one can order a breakfast box to eat in your room. There is a drinks and snack vending machine at reception and reception is not usually manned so one has to call a member of staff by phone.
The hotel is located on the edge of town on an industrial estate and there is a nearby supermarket. There is ample free car parking on site but it was almost full on each of the 3 nights we stayed there. This hotel chain is normally great value for money but this one is very expensive due to the high number of tourists wanting to visit Portmeirion and the steam railway. I would recommend to look at other hotels or B & B located in the town centre.
We asked for high floor quiet room but unfortunately due to the builders merchants and seagulls the room was still noisy even with the windows closed.
The bed was not comfortable and mattress needs upgrading.
Lucky for us we now bring mattress topper and our own pillows so we can get a half decent night's sleep.
The bathroom shower could do with an upgrade and needs the new round rails to stop the curtain sticking to you.
We were staying for a week but on 3 separate occasions our room was forgotten and no clean towels or toilet rolls/bins emptied.
I don't understand why travel lodges are not cleaning rooms properly when you are there for a week? No bedding changed and by the time we left the carpet was in desperate need of a good vacuum.
The town centre is about a 10/15 minute walk through the estate. The Ffestiniog railway about a 20 minute walk.
There is a new Lidl a couple of minutes walk away.
Also an Aldi nearby too. A lovely cafe selling breakfast and lunch is about a 5 minute walk away on the industrial estate.
The reception staff were all very welcoming especially Meniir a lovely local Welsh lady who gave us tips of places to visit and then always asked us where we'd been and what we'd done.
What makes the Hotel stand out for me, is the brilliant staff, who are always really friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and offer local knowledge.
Jean is an absolute star and came to my rescue on my first visit, when she pointed me in the direction of a shop to buy a phone charger and always has a smile on her face. A real asset to the Hotel.
Paul is extremely friendly and professional and is always there on the front desk to welcome you with a friendly smile.
Molly, very friendly, happy in her job,a real asset and goes the extra mile to help.
The team is led by Amanda, the Hotel general manager, a real professional operator, who today, when she found out we needed booking in for an extra night, went out of her way to contact our office and extend our reservation for an extra night. Something that she did subtally, and without making any fuss. This i really appreciated.
In summary, the Hotel offers extremely good value for money, the staff go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, it is extremely covid compliant and I will always stay here whenever in the area, whether its on business, or for a Vacation, after lockdown.
Thank you Amanda and the team.
