The staff were friendly and the little welcome treats in the room were a nice touch. The facikities were basic and thr food hygine rating of 1 star was worrying so we ate out. Despite leaving the window open for the whole stay, the room remained exceptionally warm and stuffy- making it difficult to be comfortable. I dread to think what its like in the peak of summer! Despite numerohs signs saying no smoking at the main entrance, we were more often than not greeted my numerohs smokers entering/exiting through their smoke! Unfortunately I couldn't recommend it and wont be staying again.

Adequate
Not great and not bad- I stayed here as it was the closest hotel available to Margam park which was hosting a local bike sportive this weekend. The hotel isnt as run down or as depressing as the area it’s in but it’s close, I actually drove straight by hoping my sat nav was wrong. The inside and more so the room is really showing its age and given its location I’m not sure spending any money on it would be worthwhile. The food whilst coming from a kitchen with a 1star cleanliness rating was actually quite nice and the staff quite attentive, I’m guessing the major brand “best western” is the only thing holding it all together. As a place to sleep it’s functional and yes I would book again for next year but for a holiday here- no chance
