I stayed at the Beach Motel in Holyhead for one night before the ferry and was pleasantly surprised. I’m usually quite selective about where I stay, but we wanted something clean, convenient and good value – and this far exceeded expectations. The lad on check-in was friendly, very professional and set the tone straight away. The room isn’t brand new, but it’s in good condition, well maintained and exceptionally clean. The beds were comfortable and well made, the TV and kettle were a good size, and the USB mains sockets were genuinely useful. The room has a thermostatic radiator valve which worked perfectly, was warm and inviting when I arrived and I turned it down to cooler to sleep. The bathroom was better than expected too: clean, a proper bath, and excellent water pressure in both the bath and shower. Towels were fresh and everything felt well looked after. We stayed on a Monday so the bar didn’t serve food that night, but the menu in the room looked reasonably priced and would be worth trying on another evening. Parking was easy with plenty of space, which made arriving late much simpler. Overall, for the price, this was excellent value and ideal for anyone wanting a straightforward, comfortable stay near the ferry port. I’d happily stay again – not something I say often for a cheaper hotel. Highly recommended.

The motel was lovely and very clean but the room was very hot as you couldn’t open the window as it was on the balcony to all other rooms so we asked for a fan but still didn’t make it cooler. Breakfast was good and the staff very friendly. We would return as the area was lovely.

We were on our "World Tour of Wales" and this was our eighth night. The welcome was: Warm. The room was clean but the front wall is all window which meant that you have to close the curtains or blinds for some privacy. We were woken by the beer delivery and every other guest pulling their suitcase past our room. The hotel is in a great location for Holyhead. There is a supermarket, pub, restaurant, takeaway and a lovely sandy beach. . We didn't have breakfast. We stayed in ten hotels during our holiday and we rated them like the charts from 10 to 1, where 1 was the best. The prices ranged from £65 to £125. The Beech Motel was under the half way mark but came in at No. 7. Would we return: No. Good to know: The Supermarket provides fresh seafood.

An absolute gem of a place. Spotlessly clean and friendly service. We were late arrivals due to ferry crossing times and the hotel made it all as easy as possible for us to check in and relax. Check out (11am) is also later than some places and was especially welcome. Great full English breakfast set us up for the onward journey. Can't fault this place at all.

A great little tucked away spot. Clean, not too small or crowded, comfortable beds, and a view from the window right to the ocean. We were up on the top floor and the door's access is right to the exterior staircase which is rugged but totally acceptable. The accommodation itself is wonderful, but the area is unfortunately not walkable and dining options are limited off-property.
