Quaint, clean, and convenient to the airport. Fun place.
Pros:

This is an exceptional location when you need to get a car back to the airport rental return. The dining was located just below for easy access on our last night in Ireland. This is definitely a bar and restaurant with some rooms upstairs. It was quaint and clean and modern in an old Inn building. Nice experience.

Great location but parking was a bit of a challenge but room was nice.
Pros:

Close to the airport and bar below allowed us to have supper without traveling anywhere.

Cons:

Noise from the bar that lasted until 12:30. I thought the washroom was missing some toiletries normally included.

Pros:

Chambre sympa et confortable style pub traditionnel assez sympa

Cons:

La boîte de nuit qui jouxte l’hôtel et la musique ultra forte jusqu’à 2 heures du matin et l’absence de place de parking alors que c’était précisé comme parking disponible sur le site de réservation (on se gare en vrac dans la cour et si on gêne on vous appelle dans la chambre pour déplacer le véhicule) comme c’est un pub c’est vraiment compliqué de se garer
