It was cheap for a hotel so close to the beach. It was unfortunate that there was no on-site parking, although it wasn't a game changer. My room could have done with a "Deep Clean" to remove mold and bathroom vent dirt but this is no disrespect to the room attendant, it requires engineering / maintenance involvement.

Had a great stay here, you can't really ask for much more for a 3 star hotel at this price point. The hotel is a little shabby in some areas, ie needs a touch up but it's no issue. The shower is powerful and the room was very clean.

Hotel was perfectly fine, the only issue we really had was that the place is cashless, and this was not mentioned anywhere beforehand (I have had a quick check again before making the review). This caused a bit of a problem getting to the hotel after midnight and only having cash, but luckily was resolved and the staff were great about it in fairness. Just maybe make that abundantly clear before people book?

Could do better.
First impression as you pull up, were not great,the hotel looks a little tierd and dated ,could do with a lick of paint, and a bit of a tidy up. We rocked up to reception, fella sitting on a chair, never really said 2 words , we said we are checking in, name ,we then filled in a form, key was given, .what happened to ,good Evening, welcome to The Trecarn Hotel, customer service seems to have gone out the window, and your supposed to put up with what they dish out, well not me. Room was small and compact, a few cobwebs on the lights, and radiator, the garden out the back ,had plates and cup outside, and they were still there when we left sunday morning doesn't really create a good impression. Shower was decent, and it served a purpose, would i stay there again, no i would'nt, would i recommend it, no i wouldnt.
