This property is centrally located with pedestrian only streets directly out the back door (the pub door is on the main road!) The beds were comfy and room was clean. We loved being greeted by OG, the cat! Staff were excellent. All in all, a great stay and base for exploring county clare!

I travel a lot and this is one of the nicer hotels I've stayed in. The bed was very comfortable, the room spacious. The breakfast was quite good and worth the money. If I had to nitpick I did try to get coffee separate from breakfast and it took three staff members and 20 minutes. The hotel is right by a lot of pubs, food, and other options. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
I liked the spaciousness of the room. I did not like that my room windowed onto a parking lot and school that had floodlights shining at night. I also did not appreciate the actions of one of the administration team (Manager or owner)on the Wednesday morning of my stay
