The Grand Hotel Swansea
Room rather small and there was a lack of surface area to put anything down. Badly designed. Clean and comfy beds. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Morgans Hotel
Room was right next to the roadway. Very noisy in the morning from traffic, workers, etc. Overall the stay was ok. Not sure I'd stay again unless I had a better room.
