Don't book this hotel

Booked a suite at over $300 a night. Room was nice but no A/C. Room was large, all glass in the front and taking in all of the afternoon and evening sun. Turned the room into a sauna. It had to be over 90 degrees Fahrenheit by early afternoon and evening. No way to let the heat out. Tried to get a different room but was told everything was booked. Manager tried to say it would cool off after the sun went down, around 10 pm, but room was still hot well past midnight and never really cooled off. Be careful booking this hotel and make sure the room is on the back side of the hotel. Don't book a suite, I believe all of these rooms are mostly glass and will heat up like a greenhouse on a warm sunny day. A lot of the hotels cater to the tour groups since they fill these hotels every night. They get a better price and the better rooms.

Lovely hotel. Easy free parking if staying at hotel. Dunnes, Next Tesco, McDonald's all a few min walk away. Lost of Bars and restaurants close by. We had breakfast in the hotel and it was really tasty. Staff are very friendly, especially the guy on the reception in the evenings, he recommended a few pubs for us to try with music. We were really lucky as the weather was beautiful but The rooms got a bit stuffy and I didn't realise I could turn down the heating at the radiator in the room till I was leaving.
