Excellent location being so close to Cardiff Bay and free parking as hotel guest is nice. You can tell the property is quite dated though and could do with some upgrades to rooms. Our air con did not seem to be working or not strong enough so that could be an improvement.
Didn't try the restaurant but the bar area seemed nice and relaxing to sit and lounge.
