easy accsess hotels?

[Jwill90210]

Good evening guys , due to work and relationship commitments i am only able to punt at my lunch time in work, what hotels are cheap and easy enough for me to get in half say a half hour punt and leave and that be the end of the matter , preferably want it no longer than a ten minute walk from queen street or central ? as my workplace is in the middle of both stations

Lots of girls seem to work from the Maldron near Central Station.

Also the Ibis on Churchill Way near Queen Street Station seems popular.

I understood but those give ease of access.

At a TraveLodge you can walk in and pay with cash on the day but you do have to provide some form of ID.

It's a bit expensive for a half hour punt isn't it? Hotel room & WGs travelling expenses! Anyway back to the question, the Travelodge in St Mary St is right next to the station, you just pay on arrival & leave the key in the room when you've finished. The cleaner will find it the next morning.
I've been to the Maldron a few times punting but it's a bit more pricey, it's a popular choice with girls that tour

I don't believe that you can operate the lift at the Maldron without a room keycard, which makes it unsuitable for use by WGs.

 Luckily most hotels in Cardiff are older, and so they are not burdened with this recently-introduced and rather unsporting technology.

Travelodge at Cardiff Bay;

Anyone can use the lifts.
When you reach the floor there is a security door.
The girl/guest then needs to walk from their roon to release the door.

Inconvenient but not insurmountable.

PM not required, just go on the Travleodge website & search for Cardiff, then look for St Mary St (I think it's called Cardiff Central). If you work in between Queen St & Central stations you should know where the hotel is.

That must be a new idea then because I definitely used the lift on more than one occasion.

So does anyone know if the Hilton in central Cardiff is card access only for the lifts? The rugby 6 nations will be starting soon and I do have a reservation there. I may well cancel if they are, although most hotels seem booked up already or charging ridiculous rates.

many thanks

I've stayed in the Hilton many times and never needed a card to get into the lift.

[oldanddecrepid]

many thanks for the quick response Dragon, I will keep my reservation there then.
