This property does not feel like a four-star hotel. It needs a complete renovation. There is no mini fridge in the rooms. The fixtures are old and need a deep cleaning. The gym is nice, but because it is next to the pool, all of the equipment is rusted. The staff was extremely helpful and nice, but the hotel needs a refresh.

Excellent experience

Perfect location, city centre with car park and swimming pool across the road. Was expecting camp bed for the kids but they had a cubby area with bunk beds very handy. Staff were very friendly and nothing was an issue.Breakfast is the usual full irish buffet style but they do offer made to order if required for vegetarian etc.
