Premier Inn Cardiff City Centre

Pros: Staff were +++ friendly and helpful. Location was perfect for easy walking all around town. Clean and comfortable modern decor. Meals were good; breakfast buffet was open for early and late rises; it included quite broad and fresh selection. Easy 15 minute walk to main bus terminal (no need for cab to/from airport). Free newspaper available in morning in lobby. Small bar area near restaurant (generally quiet/civil- - not a sports bar or raucous neighborhood pub). Quick elevator service & quite halls on upper (room-level) floors.

Cons: No wake-up call service (and our travel clock was broken); supposedly one could set an alarm via the TV, but neither we nor 2 staff members could figure out how to do this).
