The hotel had warm and clean rooms, but some noise from the busy road outside might disturb light sleepers. The service was friendly and attentive, especially during breakfast. The location was a bit challenging to navigate due to surrounding litter and a lack of pavements near the roundabout. The dining experience offered a good selection but had disappointments like overly strong coffee and less-than-fresh bread. Overall, a decent stay marred by some minor inconveniences.

My room was warm and clean, but the noise from the busy road outside made it hard to sleep with the window open. Asking for an even-numbered room could help with the road noise issue.

Service

The staff, especially Rhi on the night shift, were friendly and efficient, making my stay pleasant. Various services like room service and housekeeping were good.

Location

The hotel's small combined reception and dining area was convenient, but the surrounding area, with overflowing bins and litter from fast food stores, was less than ideal. Getting around the roundabout was a bit challenging due to the lack of pavements.

Dining

The dining options had a good variety of continental and cooked options, but the coffee was overly strong and the bread was not fresh enough. Despite some letdowns, it was an okay experience.

The hotel is situated near a busy motorway, which can impact the noise level in some rooms, but they are clean and spacious. The service is incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. While the location offers easy access by car to many attractions in South Wales, it is a bit far if you don't have a vehicle. The dining experience may not meet expectations, but the price is reasonable for the amenities provided.

The hotel's location facing the dual carriageway could be a downside for some, but as a business traveler, I found it convenient. The room was adequate but small, with uncomfortable beds and a disappointing breakfast. For the price of £70 a night, I expected better.

Rooms

The room was adequate but small, and the bed was uncomfortable. The breakfast was a big disappointment.

Service

The service was courteous and helpful, but having to pay £10 more for a small bath was not ideal.

Location

The location is convenient for fast food and shops, but parking needs better organization and monitoring.

Dining

The breakfast was a letdown with poorly cooked bacon and bland sausages. Price could have been more justified.
