Frommer's Review
In an ocean of tacky hotels, this one is a winner, the best within the town itself. Off the Promenade, near the Great Orme cable car, it looks down on the pier and Happy Valley, about 274m (900 ft.) away. Family managed, it is furnished with antiques and fine paintings in the Victorian tradition. Bedrooms are medium-size to spacious -- luxuriously furnished. A Victorian annex, "No. 72," contains eight of the establishment's finest rooms, filled with Victorian antiques, touches of silk, and a bathtub-cum-Jacuzzi. We prefer these to the accommodations in the main building. You get luxury and style throughout.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; bar; 2 pools (1 indoor, 1 outdoor); spa; whirlpool; sauna; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
