Room ok, but dated. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Grand entrance. So close to Cardiff city centre amenities. They need to be explicit about no parking on site and make discounted alternative arrangements eg Cardiff arms park car park for guests. Arrival was stressful re parking abd unloading .. not even a drop off zone.
