Cardiff Marriott Hotel
The car park (£17) is good. The property looks a bit tired. We arrived back at the hotel with many other fans after an international match to find the bar closed - at 11pm. A complete fail! If you’re looking for a good city centre hotel try the Hilton or Park Plaza. Premier inns are better value ...
