Summe-sumarum gutes Hotel (mit kleinen Macken)
Pros:

Wir haben das Hotel gewählt weil es Nahe am Causeway ist, auch dass es ein 4 Sterne Hotel ist. Zimmergröße und Bademantel im Zimmer. Bequemes Bett und Bettkissen. Wasser und Snacks kostenlos fand ich auch als eine gute Geste. Wir haben im Hotel Restaurant gegessen. Das Essen war gut, aber Suppe und Essen wurden schon sehr heiß serviert. Ansonsten geschmacklich gut. Parken am Hotel war kostenlos. Frühstück kleines Buffet aber mit Bestellmöglichkeit, Irish Style gewöhnungsbedürftig für einen Südländer).

Cons:

Im Gang zu den Zimmern hat es nach Essen gerochen. Das macht für das Hotel eher einen minderwertigeren Eindruck. Frühstück als großes Buffet wäre mir lieber gewesen. Kleine Macken aber verkraftbar.
