The room was large and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was the best we had while in Ireland and we stayed in four different hotels. There were lots of options to pick from. Parking was fine. We never had a problem finding a space in the hotel garage. Overall great stay!

Great location. Nice hotel. Housekeeping could do a better job cleaning rooms. When we arrived to the room, there was trash left on the bed from previous guests along with a used floss pick on the floor. The drinking glasses we used were also not swapped out the next day and left dirty in the room. Hotel also doesn’t provide conditioner so bring your own. Tiny almost unusable shower.

Loved the location but our room 205 was very cold and the radiator did not work! First night we about froze — slept in sweats and hoodies! Talked to the front desk and they said heaters were on a timer! The next afternoon we stopped and questioned the heat and after 2 hours they sent up a portable heater!
