Nice enough, clean, convenient parking and easy walk to the town centre. Only down side was a busy road with loud cars on a Friday night. No AC so window was open until it was too annoying, then it was a little stuffy. But for amus a nice stopping off point for some touring of Galway, Connemara Loop, and then Northern Ireland the next day. Breakfast was good as well.

Good stay overall but breakfast needs improved.

Pros Clean room Comfortable bed Staff nice from reception waiter's and cleaners Food is good in the evening Cons Breakfast lets the hotel down it has set times and when you go to the buffet no sausges bacon or eggs. None cooking aswell and the cooks at breakfast cursing some of us do speak another lang and can understand what they are saying. If they cant cope with simple stock management id advise table service frys
