The hotel itself is very clean and upscale, and the room was better than expected for the price. Just about every staff member we interacted with from reception to maid services to breakfast hall was incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. The bed was quite comfortable and larger than other king beds in Ireland (seemed closer to an American king size). Easy access to the Atlantic coast, Cliffs of Moher, Poulnabrone dolmen, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, Craggaunowen, etc. Would absolutely stay there again.
