Great hotel, staff, breakfast with a excellent location.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice and hot.
We had 2 dogs who had a treat of a cooked sausage each.
Staff were fantastic.
Location was brilliant

Cons:

When we turned into queens parade to go to Cardiff park, the first view was of a bay window which was in great need of attention. It was very off putting and could put people not to venture in through the door which would be a shame.
It would benefit the hotel to address the bay window and that ground area.
