The hotel is situated right next to the Cardiff Gate service area, making it super convenient for travelers. The staff were genuinely helpful and friendly, providing great service during my stay. However, my room was quite noisy, and there were several amenities that could use improvement. Overall, it's a decent spot for a night or two, especially if you're just passing through.

The hotel is conveniently located for motorway travelers, making it a decent stopover option. While the staff were exceptionally helpful, my room did have a smoky smell which affected my stay. The lift's broken buttons and poor signage were a bit disconcerting. On the positive side, the hotel managed to keep the noise levels low despite being near the motorway.
Rooms

The room had a smoky odor upon arrival, which was off-putting, and the furniture showed signs of wear and tear.

This hotel is a straightforward option for stayovers, especially for visiting Cardiff, thanks to its easy access from the motorway. The convenience of nearby dining options is a plus, but I faced a few issues that detracted from my experience, particularly around noise and comfort. Overall, it's decent for a budget stay but has areas needing improvement.

The hotel provided an overall pleasant experience, especially with its spacious and clean rooms, perfect for a quiet getaway. While the breakfast was satisfying, it wasn't as high quality as other Ibis locations I've visited. The location was a bit remote, and I found the lack of plug sockets near the bed to be inconvenient. However, the staff was nice and the price was quite reasonable.
