Beautiful breakfast and was so close to town. The receptionist was friendly and very helpful! There was a long hair on the pillowcase and one on the toilet seat. The place seemed clean but the hair was a bit off putting.

The main reason for my lower rating is that the sheets were dirty (dirt and hair in them), and when we called down to the night porter he didn't offer to change them and wasn't very apologetic. He did provide clean sheets and we changed them ourselves. In the morning the staff was lovely though, and otherwise a clean room.

Amazing Customer Service
My stay was a normal. We were traveling around Ireland. What happened after the stay was amazing. I left my iPad in the room and we were down in Galway. The folks at the hotel found my iPad and helped get it shipped to my upcoming hotel in Dublin. Amazing and the best customer service I have ever had when staying in at a hotel. Period. Thank you for your help.
