A hotel of this cost, in todays world, should be reasonably comfortable. If there was competition they would go broke. Facilities poorly maintained and serviced w the cheapest things possible. The owner is obviously a v cheap person!

Quaint and interesting older hotel that hosts weekly traditional Irish jam sessions in their dining room with local participants. The manager was kind enough to coordinate the loan of a guitar for me when we travelled to nearby towns for a few days. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the room was clean and comfortable.

Un hotel historico, sin embargo tambien el olor lo es, te hace saber que en el hotel se fumaba. Los baños están reformados, pero la limpieza no fue la mejor. Son esos hoteles que no quieres tocar nada o caminar. En el hotel entero y la zona donde duermes tiene una alfombra que muestra los ultimos 60 años de historia y hace tiempo que no se hace una limpieza profunda. Las sábanas eran recientes pero en un colchon que necesita ser jubilado. En general la amabilidad de algunas personas del hotel fue buena. Quiza es normal para Irlanda.
