Clean, but expensive,
"Comfortable hotel located within walking distance of the Principality stadium. In light of this the cost of the room was off the scale, however, this is a practice used by all hotels in the area when an event is on. This is by far the most expensive standard hotel room i've booked. £350 for a Sunday ..."
