It's so so
Not a terrible place, but some problems for sure. One, the place is somehow over two bars at once, which are rocking all night. No sleep here (unless you also are partying all night). Two, a hidden window was left open in my room, so it was freezing in there and took a very long time to heat up. Also, there was a lot of trouble with staff communications with Hotels.com, resulting in a different number of nights being reserved than it said on the website. Communications sent through Hotels.com, or even through direct email, could take several days for response. On the plus side, the rooms are a decent size. Cleaned well enough. It's a fun neighborhood within walking distance to some cool places, and easy driving distance to some landmarks.

Everyone was very nice and the rooms are comfortable. Unfortunately there were loud, drunk people outside the hotel around 2:00 and some talking loudly on their cell going down the hall around 3:00.

When I reserved our room, I wasn’t told that we would be directly above the ballroom and that “Disco Night” would be held during our stay. We endured LOUD POUNDING music until shortly before midnight. All I got was “sorry” when I called the front desk to complain.

Check in staff was super helpful in finding the parking lot in the back of the building. Close to castle, shopping, marathon, pubs, etc. This was a great little town and would recommend this stop to anyone visiting Ireland. The food in the pub was good. The music was fun.

This was a fun location, downtown, with 3 stories of pubs. Bakery and coffee shop across the street. Our only complaint is that even though we made our reservation well in advance for two rooms, four adults, one of the rooms we were given was a handicap accessible room which made showering a challenge, resulting in a very wet bathroom.

Fine hotel. Nice staff. A bit aged but clean and very noisy as construction going on very early. Noisy street and pub noise at night. Nice beds. Tough night sleeping above noise.

An older property in a convenient location. Very nice staff. Restaurant serves a tasty breakfast at a reasonable price. Only negatives are: shower curtain sticks to your body while showering because it’s too short and tub is narrow; hair dryer power button must be depressed during drying process which hurts my hand after a while.

Not for the light sleeper
Location is ideal for the city, and the breakfast was great, however don’t discount the noise problem. The hotel encompasses a nightclub and our room, at least, was severely impacted (a family member in a nearby room reported no problems, in fairness). Thumping music until the early hours (this was midweek and music went to 2.30-3am) followed by rowdy, drunk patrons inside and outside of the hotel. We got little sleep over our 2 nights.
