Top notch customer service!
Reception was amazing , there was a GAA awards ceremony and we were offered ear plugs if the noise got out of hand. We were moved up a floor to help with noise reduction. All round an amazing experience

This is a beautiful old hotel with a great staff and a nice breakfast. There is no parking at the hotel but there is quite a bit of safe street parking in this quaint little town.

Not the most comfortable beds, but very friendly staff! Parking lot in the back is a little inconvenient but better than just street parking

When we got back to our room in the evening there was a motor bike convention on with extremely loud music which was pounding into our room. When i went to complainThe manager moved us up a floor and provided earplugs and apologised. Did did actually end up getting a good night sleep and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were also very friendly.
