Reasonable Hotel, woukd stay again.
Pros:

The cleanliness was good and the beds were comfortable. Pleasant staff. Reasonable onside parking (non-gravel for the motor bikers out there). Easy distance from Barry and Cardiff Principality Stadium. Lovely towels and a decent shower too.
I've stayed at the Celtic before and in the 7 months since I was last there, I think it's been refreshed decorative, which looked very nice.

Cons:

Just an observation here. There was a broken bed light and the room is scarce on electric sockets.
