Comfortable hotel with great restaurant. Best dessert I had in a long time
Pros:

The staff was very nice. It was nice to have a restaurant on site. Driving and parking can be difficult in Ireland it is nice to have an easy access parking lot.

The room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable.
However, the room did suffer from quite significant road traffic noise.

Cons:

No option to include breakfast in the room rate when booking.
Road traffic noise in constant in the room.
