excellent stay, wonderful location

central location friendly staff excellent guinness
I enjoyed the hotel's central location. It made exploring convenient. the staff were very friendly. They created a cute atmosphere. breakfast was fresh, and i thought the guinness was excellent. i especially appreciated the music in the pub. It was convenient.
Our room smelled faintly of fried food, possibly due to the restaurant's extractor. i could hear the extractor fan early on sunday morning. this disturbance woke us up around 8 am. It wasn't ideal after a late night.
