The Premiere Inn is now fully booked for the Saturday night, and the Holiday Inn Express and Sleeperz are now offering rooms at about £240-250 for the Saturday night.
The Ibis hotel in Newport is about a 25-30 minute taxi trip or drive away from the convention, and has rooms available for £86 on the Saturday night. The Travelodge near the con hotel still has reasonably cheep rooms available for the Friday and Sunday nights, so it may be worth looking at the Ibis and two taxi trips on the Saturday, and staying in the Travelodge for the Fri/Sun nights, if sharing at the con hotel isn't an option.
Caveat: I'm planning on coming home to Newport on Saturday night by taxi, and coming back to the con early Sunday morning, so I'm happy to share a taxi if anyone decides they want to do that; I live about a 2 minute drive from the Ibis, so it's no trouble to ask the taxi to drop people there, although I realise it may sound a bit mad to go to a convention in Cardiff Bay but spend one of the nights in Newport ;)
