Fionnuala at the front desk assisted me with check in. She addressed all my questions thoroughly. The barman was very chatty and created a cheerful atmosphere. The room was clean. The facilities were all well maintained.

I felt the breakfast was expensive. The restaurant felt freezing on arrival for breakfast. The thought of reheated food after paying for it was unappealing. There were bleach stains on the curtains in my room.
