Good spot for a visit to Donegal Town
Pros:

Location is fantastic right in the centre. Room was comfortable but very warm when we arrived,sorted by opening the window and turning off the radiator during our stay. Beautiful view of the bay. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom with a good shower.

Cons:

There was a laundry store directly opposite our room and during both days of our stay we were woken early by the staff chatting. The mirror above the dressing table is so high on the wall you can't sit and get ready at it. Other than this tiny niggles there were no other issues.
