We made a 8 day trip to Ireland and stayed here for one night, our most expensive hotel overnight. Definitely not worth
Pros:

Bed was comfortable

Cons:

Very outdated and some parts not clean. I didn’t want to wash myself with the soap because the dispenser looked like it’s not been cleaned for 10years..
