The only problem I have with the hotel is you do have to walk a half a block or two to park and the garage is very narrow so I suggest you get a small car, they have two parking garages they recommend and the closer one cost more and they do not validate the parking. The room does not have air condition and the shower was terrible. It was hard to get the faucets working.. the rooms looked really pretty by the pictures I saw on Travelocity and they are pretty, but I think the picture can be a little deceiving. Overall, the room was nice, but it’s not something I would brag about.

Room very spacious, clean and comfortable. The lift is very slow when you call for it. Full Irish breakfast was excellent, great location. No car park linked to the hotel, but there is a municipal one literally across the road but no no concessions for hotel stay.
