What a pleasant surprise to stay at this property. Staff was friendly. Our room was very nice and also spacious. Parking was great right in front of the hotel. They had a nice pub inside with great prices and selection. We were also pleased with the close proximity to the airport for our flight the next day. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel needs a full refurbishment as all decos and furniture were old and dirty. Lighting was very dim and pipes were smelly. Not worth anything.

The proximity to the airport is great. The hotel itself is very charming. The check in process is a little strange. You check in at the bar. But when we arrived, a staff member was right at the door helping with luggage and getting us where we needed to go. He also single handedly carried all our luggage up to our room (no lift). The downsides; the food isn't great and the ordering process is strange. You can either order at the bar, or via their app. We were there on a Friday night and this bar appeared to be the hangout for the kids. This is probably due to the low cost food and pitchers of sweet cocktails. Unless it was prom night. I couldn't tell which. But it was loud and hot due to the amount of people in the bar. The food was not good and we ended up leaving most of it uneaten, and my beer was warm. But our servers (the people who brought our food) were very nice. We were told there was free coffee in the bar any time for overnight guests. That would have been true if both coffee machines would not have been broken. Luckily, the town is small and quaint and there are lots of coffee shops nearby. I would stay there again, and I would highly recommend it. It is an old building so it is a bit smelly in the hallways, but it was very nice and quiet. But I would recommend if you do stay here plan on eating someplace else. We ate at the School House and it was AMAZING! I wish we would have gone there for dinner.

We loved the “old” look and feel of this place…all of the wood and beautiful architecture. The check in process could definitely be improved. It’s not clear on arrival exactly where to go and it turns out that reception is just a closet area inside the bar/restaurant. Perhaps better signage would help. We found the bar staff to be quite unfriendly. No smiles or small talk. Quite cold, actually - as if we were bothering them. On the flip side, they have a fantastic food and bar menu and the prices were the best we saw during our two week trip through Ireland. Food was excellent! Oh and added bonus was the “lift” to our room. So cool. The room was tiny but suited our needs just fine. Bathroom was big, bright, and spotless. We chose this location due to its proximity to the airport and it made our travel day that much less stressful!

We enjoyed our stay. The bed was comfortable and the room was cool. We had a great time with the locals in the pub below and the food was good too. Definitely a great advantage being so close to the airport for an early flight. Would stay here again in the future.

Food and beverages good, but no proper reservation desk, had to wander through hotel to find reservation desk at the bar!! Also there was black mold in the skylight in or room. It did have air conditioning which is a plus! Hotel is run down and needs some attention!!

Tge building had an old charm about it yet had very modern and clean facilities. The staff were very friendly. It was very convenient for getting transport into the city and for car rental drop off at the airport. Food and drink was very good and very reasonably priced.

Everything for our stay was absolutely great. The only reason I gave a 4 star for customer service was bc it was a little standoff-ish at first until they got to talking to us after a bit. Wasn’t sure right away how our stay was going to be perceived. Other than that everyone was kind and helpful
