Stay was ok.
Pros:

Clean with good facilities. Staff nice

Cons:

The room and building was far too hot. The food was like warm and not piping hot as should have been. This occurred on both evening meals. Also some of the breakfast food was dried up

Unacceptable late-night bar noise made it impossible to sleep
Cons:

I won't be rebooking this hotel again, as the ground-floor bar played loud music from 10 PM to 12:15 AM in the middle of the night. This situation is unacceptable because my family was exhausted and needed a good night's sleep. We drove the whole day along the Wild Atlantic Way and cannot believe this is what we got after taking fantastic pictures in the evening at the Cliffs of Moher.
