Cons:

Bed was very uncomfortable! Sink was blocked. Pub area wasn't great. Coffee in room was terrible.

Great stay in Donegal
Pros:

Wonderful stay in the heart of Donegal. Rooms were spacious, good beds. The hotel has a restaurant and bar that also serves very good food and with live music in the evening. The breakfast was a large buffet serving the full Irish breakfast, but also yoghurt, fruit, cereal, various types of bread and croissants. All was great!

Plenty of spaces at nearby public parking lots. Between 09:00-18:00 it’s €0,50 an hour. But since we were away all day we hardly paid anything for parking.
