Just heard this morning that all bookings made for this year at the Travelodge ( Clarence) have been cancelled as it will not be finished.

 Travelodge
I'm sure they will be open for our visit in December

Later this month we are staying in a Gloddaeth Street hotel; to coincide with our Waverley boat trip  $walesflag$

Just tried to make a booking for the Clarence Travelodge and the Travelodge site are accepting it for mid-December. II didn't complete the booking however, so it may have been declined at the last minute - I don't know.

Yes, just received email confirming cancellation, we came to Llandudno for the excursion tomorrow.

We are looking for some Welsh slate, is there anywhere in the area ?

We only want about 6 slates. Our last lot we bought at Llanberis

The S.S.Waverley has left Glasgow, en-route to Liverpool.

Conditions in the Irish Sea are still uncertain, but there is a VERY GOOD chance that she will arrive at Llandudno Pier on Wednesday!

Yes, it is doing 15 knots and is by the southern tip of the Mull of Kintyre.

So sorry about your trip Cordyline. Hope you will be able to go again.
