Best Western is 5 miles away but seems a bargain at £49/night.

By the time you pay for taxis back and forth, Travelodge it is. That"s where we"ve booked anyway. Prefer the idea of stumbling right next door besides having to navigate further afield.

I think it depends why you are going to this event. For those who are going to play poker and can drive back and forth the casino, which provides free parking, then the 49/night is a great deal. There is a cash tour on the Friday night also so plenty of poker to be had. If the cash game is not for you then Les Croupiers has a good Friday night Tournament £15 gives you 8000 chips with one re-entry allowed, they will have a good selection of cash games up there as well. If you bust the main event and are looking for a good Saturday evening tournament they do a 10K chip deepstack £20 with re-entry. You will not be short of good poker in Cardiff.
If you are turning up with the intention of being a bit squiffy on the Friday night (I have to stay pretty sober on this one as I CANNOT be ill or even slightly hungover the following day) and the rest of the weekend, then the Travelodge is the best option. We will be going into town on the Friday night for sure but for the rest of the weekend The Bay offers everything you need with a great selection of pubs and places to eat, especially in the summer, so you can stay on site without having to worry about getting back and forth. I might be booking it for the Friday night myself then going to Newport on the Saturday Morning.
