Pros:

Pour ce qui est des chambres, un bon rafraîchissement est à étudier très rapidement ainsi que pour l'équipement.
Pour le dîner et petit déjeuner, rien à dire, tout était impeccable. Parking public en face de l'établissement donc très appréciable.

Cons:

Vétusté des chambres, de la plomberie de la salle de bains.

Pros:

The central location

Cons:

The walls were a little thin, so you can hear your neighbours, but wasn't too much of a problem

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Room was clean but all the fittings were well worn. No bath towel and the shower window leaked water to the floor. The decor is old. Sink shaving light not working

Bowers Bar & Restaurant
Pros:

I liked the location and that there was breakfast included. It was clean and the single bed was comfortable.

Cons:

I think it was overpriced at €130 for one night (Sunday) for a basic twin room, although it did include breakfast. The light through the window was bright first thing. There was some noise/music from outside in the morning.
For the question below, I didn't have any expectations.

It was a great accommodation for my stop while travelling around Mayo. Really straight forward, clean and comfortable. G
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff, clean and surprisingly quiet accommodation (it’s above a pub but the bar closes at 10pm), good value for money for b&b

Cons:

It’s a bit outdated
