Llyswen Vacations from $1,552

Simply put I have stayed at this hotel many times over the last 15 years. Last time was 2020 in January. Maybe that says something. The room had run out of shower soap and despite my best efforts it never came over a 3 night stay. The bar was closed unless you asked for something. But was not maintained so the draft beer was not drinkable and the liquor and mixer choices were scarce. Finally no refrigeration in the room. So over 3 nights it was sadly an issue. The staff were friendly and polite. I was told the recent change of ownership wanted the bar gone and I suspect have little idea of what hospitality is. This is sad for me as a returning Cardiff native from the USA.

no cooked food available at 07:00 for breakfast. No bowls for cereals or yoghurt, I had to use a plate to eat my yoghurt off. No staff clearing tables of used crockery and cutlery, messy breakfast area. Coffee machine out of order. Some guests wearing bed clothes in the communal breakfast area, is that a Welsh thing maybe?

Expect more from Marriott. Lots of bird poop on the windows. 30 minutes to check in. Room was tired.
