Any one that keeps a close eye on Llandudno will know that Tourism is struggling there, it follows a familiar path of Colwyn Bay, Penmaenmawr, Abergele where hotels just cannot survive, just like Public houses.
Considering the government claims it wants to work, you would think it would throw a lifeline to these industries and stop their decline instead of spending billions on illegal Asylum seekers!
It's (was once) crowned the 'Queen of Welsh Resorts' and with visitor numbers booming there is no sign Llandudno will lose its title anytime soon. The resort was built up around the tourism industry with an impressive sweep of majestic hotels on the seafront - and many more dotted around the centre.
When it comes to people's budgets, they range from cheap and cheerful to high end luxury. And with so many hotels in the town there are always a few up for grabs.
Here we look at some of the properties on sale right now - from large operations on for multi-million pound price tags to smaller family run ventures.
The big ones:
These first two sites came up together and have a combined guide price of £8.5m - so would need someone with a big budget. The Marine and County sites in Llandudno closed in 2020 when Shearings collapsed.
They reopened in 2021 under the management of Bespoke Hotels - bringing jobs and visitors back to the prominent seafront sites.
Now the hotels have been placed up for sale with Christie and Co. They both continue to trade as normal.
The Marine Hotel has 123 bedrooms and sits on corner position at the junction of The Parade and Vaughan Street. It includes a main restaurant and lounge bar, an entertainment room, ballroom, and an indoor swimming pool. The hotel is on the market for £5m.
Meanwhile the County hotel is on the junction of Queens Road and The Parade.
It has 104 rooms and a restaurant with 150 covers. It includes a separate pub with a frontage on Queens Road.
The hotel is on for £3.5m.
The 'mystery' one
The most expensive hotel on the market in Llandudno was recently placed up for sale with Savills. This one is on for £8.5m and sits on the seafront.
Unlike the others on this list it is not named by the agent and it is down as "awaiting image". North Wales Live is fairly sure which site it is and has contacted Savills over the listing, but the agent has not responded.
According to the firm it has around 100 letting rooms and "good profits" on net turnover of £4.4m in the most recent accounts.
Mid-size
This hotel on Llandudno's famous seafront has been up for sale for around a year. The 24-room Trevone has a guide price of £895,000 and annual turnover of around £140,000.
The agent described it as ideal for a "lifestyle buyer". There is also potential to expand the operation with an increased bar and food operation.
This hotel in the "heart of Llandudno" first came on the market in 2021. The Wilton Hotel is a Victorian Grade II Listed property overlooking the town's famous pier.
It came on the market with owners Paul Burke and Joanne Oliver looking to step down. Christie and Co said: "The Wilton Hotel is situated in the heart of Llandudno, upon South Parade opposite the sea front and Llandudno Pier."
The hotel has 14 rooms., a guest lounge and breakfast room. It is priced at £660,000.
Small operation
This nine-bedroom guest house with private three-bedroom living quarters is on the market in Llandudno. St Hilary is situated on the North Shore Promenade and is on with estate agent Dafydd Hardy.
The agent said: "There are wonderful views of the Great Orme, promenade and the Little Orme which can be seen from various windows throughout. If you're considering this property as a home, hotel and investment, the views and location won't disappoint."
It has a £490,000 price tag.

They need to start closing the hotels down and turning them in to flats, its the only way.
