Since our family moved to area, we have stayed here numerous times. good price, comfy bed. this time we had room facing rd, so was a little noisy. we didn't have breakfast as its a lot extra for what we eat. had to get more tea and milk as only 2 of each in room for 2 night stay.Location is good, but a very busy roundabout to negotiate to leave.

Visited here many times for breakfast, last time was a party of 8 of us and we were late. The staff were so lovely, made us feel at ease and couldn't do enough. 10/10. BIG THANK YOU!! I even had a poached egg brought out even though I said the one I had was fine. It wasn't but I'm not inclined to complain when they had been so good!

We couldn't fault the hotel, clean tidy, free parking, friendly and helpful staff. Room 122 was great would be no problems for a disabled point of view. Pleasant sleep, sorry if we had anybody above or aside due to snoring issues,wife says. 10/10 for a best western, breakfast was ample,and happy to visit again

This hotel wasn't what I was hoping for, but might be good for others. It isn't IN town - it is in a pullout with a gas station and KFC. The plusses: It is easy to get to and has plenty of parking. …

Came from Canada and stayed 2 weeks while visiting a long time friend. Was such a lovely experience for an affordable price. Many options for breakfast every morning, and alot around for eating out if needed. I was so sad to check out to head home! The staff were just so kind to me during my stay. Couldn't have asked for better! Will definitely book here again when I come back to Wales!
