We always shunned Taco Bell's in the US, its a fast food place, think Mcdonalds but full of Hispanics :thumbup: I guess you won't get many hispanics in the one at Pontyclun though ( nothing wrong with hispanics I might add )

then we indulged on one trip, 3 Burrito's, 2 lots of Fries and 2 Ice blast drinks, $14 :thumbup: ( thats a tenner ) the food was cooked fresh, it was tasty and we loved it, we Obviously didn't fit in and the other customers looked at us like we were Aliens, but were no bother

Our UK prices are not as cheap of course, but it was fairly decent, worth a go :thumbup:

Pubs are a thing of the past. Glad the building hasn’t just been left to rot

I thank you for your reply.

If I am up on my feet tomorrow I shall get over there and take the plunge, it's only a 10 minute drive.

Canton a poor area ? Where havre you been all your life ? Have you noticed the cost of buying a house in the area ? You have to be well off to live there.

You have to be well off to buy a house anywhere in/near Cardiff these days. Same for most of the UK, house prices are constantly rising everywhere.
Compared to a lot of other areas of Cardiff, Canton is poorer than most.

Always thought the Corporation would have made a good Premier Inn / Travelodge. Great location, Handy for the City Centre, close to all amenities etc Budget accommodation for visitors. Looked like a winner to me.

Where do they park?

Genuine question. It used to piss me off looking for hotels for work as you'd go online see the inviting price and then notice an add on for parking in areas like London, or there would be no onsite parking in places like Cambridge and you'd have to park in a multi story..

I mentioned it above, the PI in Liverpool has a " approved car park " that was a 20 min walk

My youngest played rugby at Twickenham and we stayed in a Travelodge the night before, had to park in a multi-storey down the road, cost about 20 quid in car parking fee's :frown:

I've paid a fiver a night which I've never been arsed about but I've never seen it when booking only on arrival. Whole point of booking the 24 quid a night place over the 29 quid a night place was to keep an extra fiver a night of the companies "hotel and food allowance" money.. and use their fuel to drive the extra distance if I'd have know I'd be paying the extra fiver in parking I'd not bothered and had an extra lie in :hehe:
