This is a must stay if your traveling to Galway and needing a place for the week or night. Easy parking, friendly staff, much nicer showers than most I've stayed at across Ireland. Only "small" complaint the TV size was a little disappointing but I was only in for the night on a work trip so didn't affect my stay.

Amazing location. The hotel is a little dated but it was still comfortable. And the location and views are worth any negatives.
