The furniture in the room needs some upgrading. The beds were not very comfortable . I found that the room design was dated and somewhat basic.

The breakfast food selection was extensive and very tasty. i loved the salad from the dinner menu. It was the best restaurant salad i've had in ages. the staff were also great, offering a warm welcome and friendly service throughout my stay. the location provides quick access to both wicklow and arklow.
The room was a bit noisy because it was directly above the bar. I could hear loud music until after 11pm. also, there was a weird, damp smell in the room. i had trouble adjusting the heating control, a bit annoying
