Good property. Don’t think it is a 4 star property though, more so 3.5 star. Room was clean, beds were very comfortable, breakfast was great. Great location, walkable to stores near by. Property could use some updating to get up to a true 4 star rating.

Really large rooms, comfortable beds, great fitness facilities and lovely breakfast. Next door to a huge Dunnes and other convenient stores. A bit of a walk from the town centre but a great option if you’re exploring the area. North Americans will appreciate the large rooms and easy parking!

The hotel staff were great, there were some maintenance issues in both rooms i stayed in room 309, the toilet pan is badly stained with lime scale and the faucet is loose on the vanity unit, Room 108 - the toilet pan is loose from the mounting bracket in the wall and the wall tiles have cracked because of that
