Clean and comfy but needs updating
Very large hotel, easy free parking out front. Rooms need updating but were clean and comfortable and good size. Buffet breakfast has all the options for a full Irish breakfast plus oatmeal and fruit. Location is not good for walking to anything, but this is a good choice if traveling by car.

Depends on the room
Our room was located in the B wing, in particular the bathroom was dated in the room we stayed in. The heating system when it came on during the night was very loud. Check out is 11:30 am however had numerous instances of room cleaning staff trying to enter before this time. I have stayed in other rooms on previous occasions and had better experiences.
