The staff proved fabulous. the lady at the front desk noticed a parking spot in front. she ran outside to inform me of the vacancy after seeing a car leave. the room provided quiet comfort comparable to a detached hotel. It felt clean.
The carpets definitely showed age and seemed to trigger some allergies. the bathroom tiles need repairs. the shower felt very small. The room became quite warm in the mornings, even with windows open.

Enchanting Getaway
excellent foodeasy accessthin walls
Fiona and her staff gave us great service when we stayed two nights. The food at the bar and breakfast tasted excellent and the Guinness also. The location in town has easy access to the train and many restaurants.
I did find the walls thin. I could hear drunken guests outside their door late at night. I also heard loud sounds from the next room. The first reaction from reception was about the room, instead of asking if I was okay.

The hotel includes parking available up the road. It costs €3 per day. The interior of the place was recently refurbished, and I noted extreme cleanliness everywhere. There also seems to be lift.

the hotel's location proved excellent as it was central yet slightly removed from busier areas. a spacious parking area sits just behind the hotel and is free overnight. the room was accommodating and reasonably sized. the pub offered good food and live music in the evening, and i did not hear any noise from the pub in my room.
the bar staff was rude and abrupt upon arrival, directing me to wait despite available tables and a somewhat hidden sign, leading to a delayed seating.
