Hotel and room were very clean. Staff were actively on top of keeping it that way which was great to see. Room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was great with lots of options from fruit & yogurt, breads to a full coked Irish breakfast. Parking is a little tight as it is shared with a sports complex but I had no problem getting a space. I was there on a Friday and loved the little crunches left with the "Thank Crunches it's Friday" card. Brought back good memories of growing up I. Ireland.

Very nice room including a lovely bathroom. Quiet hotel. Free parking. Friendly staff. My only complaint is that we wanted to watch Netflix before bed and we couldn’t figure out how to connect to Netflix on the TV. We watched Irish TV instead.

Lovely hotel, i have stayed here several times. Staff are really nice. Breakfast was a disgrace as it is one set price so we paid €27 for cereal x 2, tea x 2, toast and yoghurt. The cereal was also a cheap brand and it was stale.

Really large rooms, comfortable beds, great fitness facilities and lovely breakfast. Next door to a huge Dunnes and other convenient stores. A bit of a walk from the town centre but a great option if you’re exploring the area. North Americans will appreciate the large rooms and easy parking!
