Christopher, May 2025
Pros (+) The location was great, check in was fastand the breakfast was good .
Cons (-) The building was old. Furniture was worn and should have been replaced. The hotel smelled of musty paint. Couldn't adjust room temperature, bathroom fan sounds like a jackhammer. Rooms were small. Bathroom should have been renovated. Worst place we stayed in Ireland and one of the most expensive.
