Not the best welcome as they demand a credit card and are unable to take the hold charge with Apple Pay. They don need to realise that’s the future and people may not have the card! To be role ‘well you need to ring someone’ isn’t very good!

Great spot

We had room only but the room was clean and comfy. Parking was also free which was a real bonus and very convenient. I’d recommend as close to Cardiff bay and not far from city centre. Good restaurants and facilities near by.
