Wales: 'Cuz a guy's gotta sleep

So where does one stay in Swansea? Let's face it, it's not exactly up there with London or Bangkok (sad, really) Well, here's where I'm staying:

Introducing the Morgans Hotel, a perfect example of a city reincarnating its heritage. Swansea was, and still is, a busy port. In fact, at one point, it was the metal-smelting capital of the world, and only the awesome might of Pittsburgh had the muster to knock Swansea down a peg. But how does that relate to the Morgans?

The Morgans is housed in the old Port Authority. Tons of cargo came in and out of the Swansea port--remember, London, for all her maritime might, is on the other side of the country. And this makes the hotel PERFECT for exploring downtown Swansea, because it is positioned halfway between the port and the downtown. The city is actually pretty modest in size, which is actually a good thing since you can find eveything--beach, clubs, pubs, the City Museum, the Dylan Thomas Center, the remains of Swansea Castle--all within walking distance from the hotel.
