Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean and spotless. The hotel staff were also great when we were checking in and out. This was the first place we didn’t have to pay for parking since arriving to Ireland. The hotel had onsite parking both around the building and under the building. There were lifts to accommodate those unable to use stairs. One downside was that we didn’t want the house keepers to clean the room while we were away as I’ve had things stolen in the past with that. They came in and cleaned even though we didn’t leave the sign on the door to refresh our room. Nothing was stolen or touched and they did do a good job cleaning up, but still would like my privacy to be protected.

Clean and comfortable room. The public dining area is quite tired and in need of renovation. Although I managed to have a Coeliac friendly dinner and breakfast I felt thee dinner options were very limitiled and not particularly healthy.
