The breakfast was first rate, served effectively by pleasant people. I especially enjoyed the Irish breakfast, carefully served by the staff, not a messy buffet. The multiple public areas were inviting, the pool was great, and the water stations on each floor were a lovely idea. I appreciated the plenty of parking spaces too.

The room was spacious. It featured everything i needed. I found a coffee machine, a fridge, and a kettle in the room. A shuttle bus service to town was available at a low cost. It made going into town easy.

The hotel was quite busy. Staff seemed stretched at times.
