Driving through the Main Street towards the hotel and it had a lot of abandoned properties. We were quite worried about he rooms as the hotel itself looked very old and in a bad area of town. We were able to walk to the beach but the side road was closed for construction. Not a great beach anyways. Nothing to do in the area either. Room was VERY spacious and nice but no wifi signal in our room 210. Great signal in dining room and bar. Good free breakfast options. Free parking.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed here for 1 night. Check-in was very easy, staff were very friendly. Car parking was available on sight to the right of the door. The room however was dated, there were cracks in the bathroom tiling and hair was present in the bath/shower from previous guests. They did however offer a good range of amenities. The hairdryer was broken in the room and dated. The bed however was very comfy though we were woken up around 3 in the morning by a scratching noise which we originally thought was someone trying to get into the room. The noise eventually stopped but happened again around 8.30 the next morning numerous times so we thought it may be a rodent of some kind though there was no evidence of this in the room

Marie

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had originally booked this hotel for two nights. When we got to our room all we could smell was cigarette smoke. We went to the front desk and asked if they had another room available as I am asthmatic but they could not provide us with another room. I was very worried staying there for the one night due to my breathing but had no choice as there was no other vacancies around. Due to it being a health situation we were able to book another hotel for the second night. We spoke to Maria at the desk to get a refund for the second night and had a representative from Expedia speak with Maria confirming that they would refund us. Looks like Maria was deceiving us as we received an update from Expedia saying the hotel would not refund us. This was a health concern this hotel is clearly not rated right as I always check the rating prior to booking due to health concerns. I would rate this hotel and their staff at a 2. We were very disappointed in Maria, the hotel and Expedia.

Big clean rooms, center of the village and a short walk to the beach. Train to the city takes 45 minutes - and only a 20 minute drive to the airport. Value for money - cheaper than Dublin city centre!
