It's a nice 4 star,a typical country town four star with a very good leisure center and pool out the back.
Check in was quick and pleasant.
This was my second stay here.I was in a fairly nice largish "Executive" room.
It had tea and coffee facilities and an ironing board.
The bathroom reminded me of one you'd see in the westin Dublin so someone did a bit of homework - quite nice with their own brand toiletries which were adequate.
This room type does not have a separate shower.
The "contemporary" room does.
Thats pretty much the only major difference between the two for 40 euro more.
The Tv is an old 20 inch with just 8 or 10 channels so if you are down on a business meeting ,you'd better have a good book to read,go for a long swim or use the fitness facilities.
Breakfast served in the restaurant downstairs was wholesome,tasty and there was plenty of it.
I'd say the same of the bar food the previous evening,it hit the spot when hungry and was served quickly.
The kitchen closes at 930pm though so be aware of that.
As for outside noise...yes there is a night club that you will hear on a friday but more especially a saturday night.It's more obvious with the window open but does stop at around 1am.
All in all good value south of €80 a night.
