Avoid this hotel
We usually use holiday inns for work purposes and I've stayed in plenty. You would usually expect a decent level of hotel. This one needs to be avoided. Poor condition, mouldy rooms and poor service.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and ideally situated for access into Cardiff. Staff were very helpful, especially the night receptionist Chris. Room was clean and tidy,if a little tired. Possibly do with a refresh. Would be happy to stay again

Not great, but convenient location.
Hotel is tired decor-wise and in need of a refresh in places and good clean in others (didn’t risk sitting in the room’s armchair) Restaurant service was below par. Staff seemed to be more keen to chat with each other than actually serve. Meal inclusive deal (two courses) was a bit of a farce given everything the dessert ended up on the bill, along with the manager’s‘complimentary’ drink for my inconvenience. Check out was a chore with only a single member of staff on the desk @ 8am when lots of people were leaving at the same time (to get to work by the look of most of us). Will I stay here again ? With a Village Hotel nearby… No !
