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!

Room was spacious but had a car park view. Not great. Also they took our dirty towels but didn’t replace clean ones. I had to call down for some. Also the shampoo condenser item which was stuck on the wall fell down in the bath. Having asked it was put back, but then it fell again at 5.30am with an almighty bang, which woke us up and scared us.

Our hotel experience

The hotel staff were excellent. The food was very good. The room was comfortable (accessible room) but could do with refresh. The carpet was quite stained in places, the tiles on floor of shower were sharp around the drain, the shower taps were roughly fixed to shower wall and very difficult to turn off, there was no air-conditioning in bedroom, no safe, and key card kept failing. The hotel also offered an indoor pool. However, it was always so busy as the hotel opens it up to non - residents. It was mainly full of children so not relaxing.
