Overall the stay was great for one night and no complaints. I had an issue with the TV (user error not the TV and reception came up and sorted it is two minutes) My only small issue is there was a very ominous stain on the carpet between the beds, and I tend to walk around the room with no shoes on, also the throw at the bottom of the bed seemed slightly due for a refresh. Small issues and the only thing worth mentioning but great hotel, great location to the train station (although I drove), great proximity to restaurants, and friendly staff

Had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Clayton. Staff were great and helpful. Deluxe room was clean and beds very comfortable! Excellent breakfast with lots of choice. Close to shopping centre and lots of places to eat nearby! No parking but Cardiff train station car park is a 2 min walk away and very reasonable compared to other car parks in Cardiff! Will definitely stay again!

Not the best experience.
The lifts were temperamental in that you would select floor 8 in our case and it would take you somewhere else. This happened several times and we had to use the emergency stairs. The breakfast items were not well cooked. The bacon was almost boiled. Overall the service looked understaffed amd quality of food was lacking. The room felt very cramped and the bed was not the most comfortable. We had to wait for almost an hour for toilet roll that never arrived. The reason for this was the staff were very busy.
