We were on a tour that took us to Westport, that had us staying right on loud and busy Octagon. We were happy to move down the street, after our tour ended, to Clew Bay. Very kind staff, EXCELLENT full breakfast (tho' the hours did not work well for us, only 8 - 10 am each day, and we had early calls... ) and quiet. Furnishings a bit tired? but staff were nice and helpful. Hopefully, hotel will upgrade beds and carpets in the near future.
