Superbe nuit à Clifden
Pros:

Le rapport qualité prix de cet hôtel est incroyable.
La chambre est très spacieuse, le débit de douche parfait et la localisation hyper centrale.
Pour le prix je ne m’attendais pas à la qualité du petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Les portes de certaines chambres sont difficiles à fermer et claquent fort.

Parking challenges/noisy neighbors/just ok.
Pros:

It was close to the downtown area for walking to shops and right across the street from the supervalu.

Cons:

Parking is on street pay to park $1/hr until 6pm i believe. If you choose to park at supervalu your car will be locked in until 8am(so we were told). Parking can be challenging downtown. The area can be noisy. There is no lift so keep this i mind if you have heavy or several pieces of luggage. I think it was 3 sets of stairs for us. Breakfast was just ok.
