We were very pleased with our room which was very large. I assume it was wheelchair access because of bathroom. The only minor downside was the shower curtain. I am not a fan of shower curtains. Staff were exceptionally friendly and a great choice for breakfast.

This was a good choice for us to get closer to Dublin for a flight out the next day. Free parking is nice and the room was fine. Nothing amazing, but clean and spacious.
