We wanted a stop over on our way from London to Fishguard and somewhere close to the M4. This place ticked that box. That was it. The outside was filthy dirty and has a grim exterior, okay its right next to the motorway.
I was travelling with my 2 young children, a packed car and a roof box. We pulled up in the car park and it was clear that this place didn't warrant a "hotel" status. There were several unsavoury people hanging around outside. It had a "bad part of town" feeling. I was contemplating checking out the room as we were only technically staying there a few hours, we just needed to sleep, plus it was paid for and non refundable.
When my daughter said "mummy I don't think its safe here" it confirmed my thoughts. I got on my phone and booked a Premiere Inn 30 minutes up the M4 which was perfect. It felt safe, we were given a friendly welcome and everything was spotless. I should of done this in the first place.
I appreciate it is a Budget Hotel but its not good. If you're travelling with children I don't recommend it. I've since learned there are plenty other places to stay that are more suitable.
I wish I had read more reviews before booking, they confirm what I thought its not a safe place to stay especially with children.
