They have nice big clean rooms with comfortable beds. An elevator. The dinner we had in the bar was very good. I didn't hear it but they had live music that started about 10:30.

Anonymous Ireland

Had dinner here, quite nice. Breakfast very good. Could use a coat of paint or a bit of a refurb, but generally a great stay.

Anonymous Ireland

The concierge gave helpful suggestions on places to see. The checkout was easy. The bathroom was clean. I liked that the hairdryer was located outside the bathroom. It made it easier for my husband and me to get ready.
