Good stop on your travels
Pros:

The location was central to Arklow and easily walkable to sights/restaurants.
The room was a good size. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was great.

Cons:

The room needs a refresh as well as the bathroom, it's a bit dated. The music/ noise from the bar was fairly loud even on the 3rd floor.

Cosy Stay in Arklow
Pros:

The location is great, literally just over the bridge as you're going into Arklow centre, very striking. The room was comfortable and cosy with nice facilities - good heating, tea/coffee and kettle, bathroom. It's a busy pub, or at least it was when I was checking in; pleasant staff. Check out at midday. Happy to stay again!

Cons:

Just TV remote control issues - sometime working, sometimes not so well, a bit frustrating (maybe it was just the batteries)... Nothing else that comes to mind right now.
