Our stay at Cardiff Motor Inn couldn't have been more PERFECT! Not only was the room perfectly suited to our family, but the room was also immaculately clean and tidy, no little broken bits and pieces, even the car park, fishpond and surrounding box hedge and grassed areas were immaculately maintained! The attention to detail on every level was impressive, even the Otto bins were lined!
