menu optionstourist restaurants
The breakfast included both a buffet and menu options. The downstairs restaurant and bar offered free entertainment every night. I liked its location. It made attractions easily walkable. I appreciated the restaurant being near the hotel. It had good non-tourist options at reasonable prices.
My room faced the road so there was a lot of traffic noise. The noise disturbed my sleep.

The staff were kind which was acceptable.
The room was small. Noise from the hallway was very noticeable. The floors creaked a lot, so I heard everyone who walked by.

I loved the secure car park offered. It added to the peace of mind . The traditional Irish and continental breakfast choices were varied and nice. The location was great for a city stay. It was close to city tour buses. The rooms were comfortable and clean.
the hotel being further from main tourist attractions than i had thought was a slight inconvenience. it required more planning for sightseeing.
