Merrion Hotel (Llandudno, United Kingdom)

Nestled against the gorgeous Llandudno Bay, the Merrion Hotel permits brief and hassle-free access to various sandy beach fronts. Locations ideal for fishing and cycling are also numerous throughout the surrounding area. Alternatively to fun-filled days at the beach, guests can delight in the vast expanse of the Wales and Snowdonia mountain landscape.

As Merrion Restaurant sources their ingredients from local fisheries and suppliers, quality and taste rarely fail to exceed expectations. A variety of modern English dishes are served from midday well into the evening--with the outstretching ocean setting an idyllic backdrop. The hotel bar serves an assortment of wines, ales, and lagers, making a lovely addition to any meal.

From one's initial instance of arrival, warm and welcoming personalities are eager to meet your acquaintance. Whether you're feasting on a home-cooked English dish, sipping on a drink from the bar, or asking for directions to the hotel or any of the surrounding attractions, prompt and courteous service is guaranteed.

While the Merrion Hotel has an off-site, designated car park, the number of spaces have been reported fewer than twenty--less than a third of the number of bedrooms. Especially during the busier seasons, finding vacant parking can be frustrating. There are, however, a few public parking lots within a couple blocks of the hotel.

Although well-appointed and maintained, previous guests of this seaside resort have expressed their discontent with the hotel's standard of cleanliness. In addition to dusty nooks, crannies, and headboards, visitors have found themselves at odds with dirt in the showers, grime behind faucets, and smudged glassware.

The condition of certain facilities don't seem to equate in standards of excellence when compared to that of the stunning, beach front surroundings. Creaking floor boards from upper-rooms are a common source of complaint, as well as frayed carpets and poor water pressure in some bathrooms.
