I enjoyed the swimming pool after climbing Snowdon. It was very refreshing. The gym has new Technogym equipment, a fantastic upgrade to my workout. Breakfast had good coffee and a varied selection to choose from. The canal views created a calming atmosphere, great for relaxation.

The spa changing rooms could use some freshening up.

The location by the canal was lovely. It was handy having access to the associated leisure center for a swim in the big pool. Our room was a nice size with good lighting.

The room card didn't work at check-in. I had to return to reception twice before accessing the room. The guy at check-in gave no info about the hotel, either. We were not told we were on the first floor.

The spa facilities impressed me, especially the large pool. Dinner in the restaurant offered good value. The staff provided a very high standard of service, made my Christmas nice.

The double bed comprised two single beds pushed together, which detracted slightly from the overall experience.
