Zentral gelegen, Betten bequem, angeschlossener Pub, aber Abstriche bzgl. Klima und Badezimmer
Pros:

Es stand ein öffentlicher Parkplatz zur Verfügung, eine Parkticket hat man vom Hotel erhalten.
Die Zimmer sind bedingt geräumig, aber ok. Steckdosen in Bettnähe sind vorhanden.
Ans Hotel angeschlossen ist ein Außenbereich an der wenig belebten Straße, wo man sich abends noch mit einem Getränk aus dem Hotel-Pub hinsetzen kann. Der Biergarten war leider in unserem Zeitraum nicht geöffnet.
Das Essen im Hotel-Pub ist lecker, allerdings sollte man die Öffnungszeiten im Blick behalten.
Zum Frühstück kann man aus dem Menü wählen und mit dem kontinentalen Frühstück kombinieren, allerdings sollte man kein Full Irish Breakfast erwarten.

Cons:

Die Zimmer im Obergeschoss sind nur über Treppen erreichbar, Personen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität könnten hier Probleme haben.
Das Badezimmer verfügt außer der Fensterbank leider nicht über viele Ablageflächen, sodass die Kulturbeutel irgendwo (nötigenfalls auf der Erde) platziert werden müssen.
Duschen in einer Badewanne mit Duschvorhang ist immer wieder eine Herausforderung, aber sollte nicht überbewertet werden.
Eine Klimaanlage oder mindestens ein Ventilator wären bei warmen Temperaturen schön gewesen.
Die Toilettenspülung versagt manchmal, sodass Übriggebliebenes mehrmals weggespült werden muss.

Could do better, needs investment
Pros:

The location is hard to beat. Hotel and room were clean.

Cons:

The bed was not that comfortable and there was no power in the shower. I would only use again if I had no other option. Some renovations would help a lot, so it has possibilities in the future.
