Would recommend the Temple Gate Hotel for your stay in Ennis.
Pros:

The Temple Gate Hotel is situated downtown Ennis, which is convenient for walking around the town and central for day trips outside of Ennis. The room was a double bed plus a single bed. Very comfortable mattresses. Clean room and modern bathroom. The hotel was quiet and staff very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The only thing that was "so so" was the breakfast buffet. Maybe a 7/10. Breakfast is served from 7am-10am. We were there most days at 9am and the items on the hot tray were not exactly hot. If you have any issues with salt, then you should avoid the scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and blood pudding. These were very salty. Yoghurt/fruit salad/cereal/toast/danishes/ Irish bread options were great. The coffee is excellent, they have a Franke self serve machine. You can have anything from an Americana to a Flat white in seconds.

Hotel too old for a nice stay. Poor breafast
Pros:

The geographical location

Cons:

The hotel is just old dated, the rooms are from the end 90s and do not meet the current standards. Our room was at the base floor and just next to the hotel entry. No privacy! Just unacceptable!
