Do not stay here. There are other options in the center of town in Galway. This hotel SMELLS of mildew and the room smelled of smoke. The dirty carpet and unkept bathroom was enough to almost make us leave if it wasn't for the only night we were there for. There is a rowdy bar / restaurant downstairs with people drunkenly leaving at all times of the day. Parking area is behind the hotel and only open entrances were the main door into what looks like a very outdated lobby and overall location. When we checked out and told the staff of our stay they shrugged it off and said we were only there for one night so why bother...crazy.

We were woken up at about 1:00 am by a fire alarm inside our room. The incident lasted about 3 min but the alarm was extreemly load. The staff politely apologized. Great staff but terrible experience. this is why I an not giving it a 5 star overall rating.
