Its location, a short walk from Galway city center, is undeniably convenient, enhanced by complimentary underground parking-a welcome amenity. While some aspects, like in-room dining, appear to need refinement, the overall impression is of a family-friendly place with a focus on accessibility and practical amenities.”
