Wonderful break in scenic Doolin
Pros:

Stayed in suites. Everything was beautiful. Large king size bed. Dressing room. Balcony with chairs & table. Quiet. Beer, crisps & snack bars left for guests. Nice touch. Burren soap left in bathroom. Waffle Robes included. Private parking space.
Enjoyed food in Fitzies pub. Great music nightly.

Cons:

It was a bit costly but it was high season & a favorite tourist spot.

Perfect for visiting the Cliffs of Moher
Pros:

The hotel was simple but comfortable with excellent breakfast options in the attached restaurant. It is very close to the Cliffs of Moher and on the free shuttle stop to local attractions.

Cons:

A room with a king bed as an option would have made it a tad more confortable

Lobely Hotel in Doolan
Pros:

This is a lovely hotel in tiny Doolan. Nice, comfortable rooms and a good size also. We also had dinner there in the restaurant . All good.

Cons:

Nothing. It's not the least expensive in Doolan but it's a popular location!
