We stayed 1 night at this hotel as part of a weekend visit to Port Meirion and Llandudno in North Wales. This location of the two Premier Inn properties available in Llandudno was chosen as it has on site free parking. With Port Meirion just over an hour away it was a great base for the area. The hotel is very easy to find and sits slightly away from the end of Llandudno beach next to "Little Orme" which is a rocky hill. There is a gentle gradient down to the promenade which can be walked right over to the town centre. While flat and wide, the walk to the town is over a mile. It was not an issue for us but it is something those who have mobility issues should consider. That said we were passed by many buses and the town itself has ample short stay parking should you prefer not to walk. On entering the car park the hotel looks good and is attached to the Craigside Inn Brewers Fayre where you have breakfast (if you pre-pay or attach the cost to your room on check in) or evening meal. The car park has plenty of space and you are close to the building where ever you park. Reception is on the left as you look at the building and is separate from the pub entrance. We were met by Luke who was both friendly and efficient. To access the rooms you will need to climb a set of stairs that had, from what we saw, no lift. We saw only one "accessible" room which didn't require this climb so if you cannot use stairs carrying bags, check before you book. Our room was the standard Premier Inn room which is similar no matter where you stay. We didn't have a sea view as we were at the rear of the hotel and we just looked out on to woods. While no issue, the more private guest might not like that there are no net curtains so you are either open to the woodland and anyone walking in it or in darkness with the backout curtains drawn. Our room was very clean, had all the amenities you need (TV / Kettle / etc) and had a very comfy bed but didn't have a fridge . The room was in good order, all furniture was unmarked and the room and bathroom smelt fine. We chose not to use the restaurant for an evening meal instead choosing to drive less than 5 minutes away from Llandudno to the Co-op Food on Glan-Y-Mor Road. This is a large shop with plenty of choice for snack items in case, like us you didn't want a sit down meal or you need water for the room. We paid for Breakfast and this was served in the Brewers Fayre. The breakfast is advertised as a buffet but they take your order at the table. While you can have as much as you want, you specify the quantity you require. This was fine with us but if you wanted more, we were not given the option to have a further round of food if it was wanted. That said, Gary was a credit to the hotel / restaurant. One things to note here is that Premier Inn does do deals where you can pay up front for both an evening meal and breakfast and this is reasonable value but it didn't seem obvious at time of booking.
