Room very spacious, clean and comfortable. The lift is very slow when you call for it. Full Irish breakfast was excellent, great location. No car park linked to the hotel, but there is a municipal one literally across the road but no no concessions for hotel stay.

121 is a great looking room but... Q: do you know how to move 30 empty kegs quietly? A: the 6am crew at the bar across the street doesn't... VERY loud. Other than that great experience.

Room was clean and spacious and quiet in spite of overlooking a busy road. Check in staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, some minor issues need attention , no cups for tea and coffee. Bar food was ok, wait staff seemed under pressure. Overall a really good stay,would recommend and would return.

The hotel is beautiful and has an excellent location. The room was just average. It was very warm and had no AC. The bathroom towels are very poor and the outlet situation is not great. No outlets at nightstands to charge phones or plug in a fan. Pillows were nice.
