Perfect location and helpful staff make this hotel the ideal place to stay when visiting Cavan.
Pros:

The location of the hotel is ideal in the centre of town and the rooms and facilities are excellent including a cooked breakfast brought to the table which is a rare treat compared to the buffet breakfast that appear to have become the norm. The staff in this hotel are the key to its success and they go out of their way to make their guests stay a pleasent one. I would highly recommend this hotel.
