We stayed here on our last day in Ireland. We'd already spent time in Dublin and we're coming in from Killarney. This hotel was very reasonably priced $150 or so Euros, and was recently renovated, with a nice pool and Spa.
We picked it b/c it had good reviews and was a short drive to Dublin Airport.
The facilities were nice, people friendly. They had some sort of autorally race event when we were there, so we saw some cool cars.
Took a taxi downtown, it was a bank holiday so it was pretty crowded. Went to a few bars and saw some live music. (Not folk , but foo fighters cover band).
So in all, great value, close to airport (30 min drive) and fun town.
