Surprising Find Near M4

convenient parkingfriendly welcomeclean roomeasy access
I found free parking quite convenient. Staff provides friendly welcome which is something I value. The room had modern style and felt clean. Hotel is situated a very short distance from Junction 18 of the M4 Motorway, it was easy to find and access.
Shower on and off switch was missing, but I managed. It worried me about safety though.
