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.

Surprising Contrast
Lobby area is beautiful. Looks to be newly remodeled, very clean, and well lit. The rooms however, are a stark contrast. Dark, flat/uncomfortable pillows, and rather dated rooms. Fine for a one night crash, like our group did, but not sure I'd want to stay much longer.

We liked the hotels lobby and common areas were huge and modern.. the staff was friendly and helpful when we need anything ..
Our room needed more dusting but everything else looked clean and the beds were really comfortable.. rooms are spacious..
Laundry was unconventionally so far .. but free which was nice (as we are traveling for 3 weeks)
We loved Galway and your hotel

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.
