I stayed in the budget motel part of the hotel, and while the rooms are clean, they are starting to show their age without that 'wow factor. ' However, they were exceptionally clean despite the dated décor. The hotel itself is really old and the rooms are very small, but cleanliness is definitely a strong point here.

The hotel had everything we required, with super friendly and helpful staff. However, the room was not what I expected, so we asked to move, especially since we needed a ground-level room due to having a little one with us and being 30 weeks pregnant.

The room was very dreary, beige upon beige.

The staff were lovely and friendly, but we felt it was more like a 3-star hotel. They were helpful in informing us about the flood in the basement car park and assisting us in relocating our vehicle.
Location

The location was excellent, with everything within walking distance. The children being near the restaurant smoking area was a slight downside.
Dining
7.0
The dining experience was good, although the scrambled eggs were the only option available, which was a downside. The staff was great.
Facilities

The facilities were okay; the cafe area and Irish pub were nice additions.

The hotel rooms were very nice, fresh, clean, and comfortable overall. However, the property would benefit from refurbishment and fell short in terms of value for money. The staff were top-notch, friendly, and helpful. The location was great for exploring the town and nearby attractions, yet some aspects needed improvements. The dining experience varied with some items lacking taste or being overcooked. The facilities were adequate, but there were minor issues in certain areas.
