Indigo cardiff
"Hotel and staff always good. However, car park arrangements are poor. NCP operated Greyfriars carpark is prohibitively expensive and the touch screen payment display is the most unreliable method for paying, often stalling and failing to register the correct lettering. It is the worst."
