Choose for the location; make sure you get the check-in instructions before arrival.
Pros:

Centrally located in Donegal. Our room had a view of The Diamond and all the hustle and bustle. A good number of restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Off-street parking available.

Cons:

Check-in was difficult. Apparently instructions are messaged through the Booking.com site but I was not looking for them there, so I did not see the message. Did not receive the email check-in instructions until a week after our visit. One of the bartenders in the pub contacted the owners and helped us get the keys from the lock box. Parking is in back (you drive through a really tight entryway that is hard to find). One of the employee's cars was blocking the parking lot entrance so we waited over 15 minutes for him to move his care before we could park. Be aware you need 2 euros to get out of the lot. We just happened to have it but we could have been stuck there for a while if we didn't. Room and bathroom was adequate for a one night stay. The hallway had a very funky/bad smell to it that was there the entire time we were there.

Pros:

За свою цену хороший номер, хорошее расположение. Достаточно чисто.

Cons:

В номере был запах мокрой собаки, скорее всего от ковра. Хотя в описании написано что с животными нельзя. Хорошо что погода позволила полностью открыть окна и проветрить.

Should be listed more accurately. It is a good value and a fine place to stay, but not a hotel.
Pros:

Very centrally located and clean. You could telephone "the property" and a very pleasant and helpful woman, Rita, answered. Also, it was inexpensive.

Cons:

This is not a hotel. It is a B&B, except no breakfast. This misbranding made for some surprises. No elevator. I had to lug my bags up two flights of stairs. Bathroom down the hall, and shared with all the other rooms on the floor. No air conditioning. View of concrete wall, which was good because there were no curtains. Although Booking.com said the reservation could be cancelled, I could only cancel the second night. I stayed for one of the two nights, and moved to a nearby hotel, with in-room bathroom and elevators.
