Delta Hotels by Marriott Swansea
The hotel interior and exterior are simewhat tired and need redecorating. Main lift was not working so had to use a service elevator. Insufficient staff at breakfast, although the 2 waitresses were rushed off their feet!

The Ivy Bush Royal Hotel By Compass Hospitality
Property is good. But breakfast is not of adequate standards in terms of hygiene. Having said that, the hotel operations manager was indeed responsive and willing to sort matters out when a feedback was provided.
