convenient breakfast and central location

complimentary breakfast central location varied options great parking

i found the complimentary breakfast to be a real highlight of my stay. the variety included fresh pastries and a selection of fruits. made-to-order options ensured everyone found something they liked. the hotel's location downtown allowed easy access to attractions. dining options were also conveniently close. the hotel provides great parking facilities behind the building.

I noticed the room lighting was somewhat outdated. It lacked soft mood lights.

The location was great. I could walk everywhere. It was acceptable.

The room had thin walls. I heard doors slamming often. A light from outside glared into the room making it hard to sleep. The bed was also small.

satisfactory stay

central location breakfast food mould shower shower curtain

the hotel location is excellent. it is in the middle of the town, a short distance from everything. the complimentary breakfast had items cooked to order right away.

the room felt old. it resembled a school camp from the 1980s. the shower had mould, and the shower curtain made puddles on the floor.

Excellent Stay in Dingle!

easy parking delicious breakfast helpful staff

My room was a well-appointed Double Room (exactly what I needed). The location offered easy parking, a significant plus for exploring the area. I enjoyed the breakfast, so delicious, and the staff was very helpful and gracious!

I found that the noise from the air-conditioning unit near my window persisted from morning until midnight. I struggled to relax because of that sound. I really hope this can be fixed !
