Future Inns Cardiff Bay
First time I’ve never really been impressed with the staff.

Cardiff Marriott Hotel
The room was clean and the toiletries were easily accessible and lovely to use. There was a good choice for breakfast. Staff were very friendly but slow to clear the used plates and cutlery. The bar was very busy and quite noisy but good choice of beverages
