Quiet Stay in a traditional Irish Inn -- Galway
Pros:

An Cruiscin Lan is a quaint inn located just outside of Galway along the Wide Atlantic Way. The restaurant offers standard Irish fare. The rooms are traditional but the wifi connection is good. We enjoyed walking along the rocky coastline in the early morning followed by the hearty breakfast at the inn.

Cons:

We were routed along single lane country road in the hills around Galway by both the rental car's GPS and google maps. It is better to drive into Galway then take the R336 over to An Spidéal.

Troppo costoso
Pros:

Personale accogliente.

Cons:

Struttura vecchia, la colazione non è continentale ma prevede un piatto a scelta e buffet con 3 succhi, yogurt in vasetto e 3 scelte di cereali.
Lontana da tutto eccetto che dal porto di partenza per le isole Aran.
Il prezzo troppo alto per la qualità del soggiorno.

Good location historic bar staff great but lukewarm welcome at reception
Pros:

Location
Historical
Feeling of old family hotel
View of sea
Staff very friendly
Reasonable breakfast

Cons:

No lift
The manager was told I had a broken toe and I was wearing a surgical boot but he still put us in a room on the second floor
It would have been simple to offer us a room on the first floor I feel as they were obviously not fully booked. We were on a 6 day road trip so lots of luggage to cart up two floors and 3 landings !

A friendly and well run hotel in a good location for exploring the coast.
Pros:

Very friendly family run hotel. All staff were excellent and food was the best we have had so far in our holiday. If you are there on a Sunday, there is a brilliant folk music session.

Cons:

The traffic was quite noisy during the day.

An really enjoyable and comfortable stay.
Pros:

The location was ideal, in the middle of Spiddal village with easy access to the beach and for driving to different places. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were lovely. The room was functional and clean. The parking in the front of the hotel was very handy too.

Cons:

The room could be updated a bit i.e. there were no plugs by the beds. Other than that the room was fine, functional and clean.
