i liked the people and the room was nice. I had a hard time sleeping because the bed was very uncomfortable. I did not like the bed at all. The breakfast was very good. I like tomato juice with breakfast but there was none. The location was great, and I love that they had entertainment.

Our stay was very pleasant and I would recommend this place for any traveler. The Irish influences on the interior and exterior made me feel like I was in Ireland. The staff was friendly, the breakfast was good and the dinner we had at Frank O'Dowds was excellent.
