Excellent Stay!

This location is really awesome. The staff are so friendly. I enjoyed the Irish free range Caesar Salad. It was unbelievable. The draft pints tasted clean and bubbly here. Room 156 was beautiful. I also appreciate that breakfast tasted lovely and fresh. I am so happy I came here.

The family room faced the front of the building. I heard traffic and rows outside in the early hours. A room at the back is better.

the receptionist was helpful with directions to local attractions. my room had a view of the sea, i appreciated that. the bar had a decent selection of irish whiskeys, a plus for me.

The television remote in my room was missing a battery cover. the elevator seemed slow, i waited a while. the breakfast buffet lacked variety. The pastries tasted stale.
