I hadn't booked any accommodation for my first night in Ireland, and was getting a bit worried as many properties were already full ... so I took a complete gamble on this hotel ... luckily my punt paid off !

I actually stayed here twice within a week, as I was really quite pleased with the nice firm beds, the spacious bedrooms, the good water pressure, and the general cleanliness - even if the carpets are rather tired ...

Sometimes the reception staff weren't quite on the ball, but they were mostly helpful. The location near the centre of town - only about 5 minutes walk - is very handy, as is the free parking between the hotel, and its big sister, the Brandon.

I didn't try the breakfast, so can't comment on that ... but overall I would recommend this property - but you may not get a chance, as I saw a planning application to have it converted into offices !
