Fantastic location right in the centre of Derry. Our family room was huge and plenty of space for the 3 of us. Although there was renovation happening we honestly didn't notice anything. The leisure facilities were excellent. Others have noted the parking charges, so thanks to that we parked on the road just outside Ebrington Square for free and just walked across the Peace Bridge.
