Lovely hotel, i have stayed here several times. Staff are really nice. Breakfast was a disgrace as it is one set price so we paid €27 for cereal x 2, tea x 2, toast and yoghurt. The cereal was also a cheap brand and it was stale.

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!
