This was a great value place to stay with staff who could not be more friendly and helpful. It has easy connection for driving but the hotel is tired and is, as we were told, due for refurbishment after a recent take over All in all, fine for a quick stay but its refurbishment can't come soon enough.

A clean, decent, cheap option for a drop into Cardiff. Good public transport connection. One downside is parking is on a very steep land and has just turned into a pay to park/anpr job.

Very run down motel. I’d struggle to give it a one star. The room was very dated with heavily stained carpets Bed was uncomfortable with stained pillows and quilt. Also the quilt smelt of urine. Bathroom floor tiles cracked and a foul smell coming from the toilet. Front doors didn’t seem safe. I would not recommend anyone stay at this motel.

Not worth the amount we paid. We stayed one night as it was convenient, but the experience was far from comfortable. The property is in serious need of a facelift, and the lack of air-conditioning made the room extremely stuffy. The bed was terrible — we could feel every spring in the mattress, making it the worst we’ve ever slept on. There was no comfort in the room at all. The only positive was the check-in process: it was smooth, and the staff member was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I will not be staying here again.
