“I think this hotel's architecture certainly makes a statement on Sligo's skyline. The location is superb, right in the heart of the city, but I also noted the underground parking-a definite plus. From what I've gathered, the in-house bar has a lively scene, especially with DJs on the weekends.”

The breakfast was a bit disappointing. i found the hot food sitting out for a while. the fried egg yolks were completely solid (i really prefer them runny!). also, the coffee wasn't included. I had to pay extra for it.
