Room was fabulous, high ceilings, brick walls... Parking was horrible, had to park on street, only about 6-8 spaces at Hotel/Pub. Check-in was not easy (a tiny corner of the very large pub). Staff wasn't great, but the room made up for it somewhat.

The room was spotless and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only downside was the parking. The private car park at premises is very small so there was no availability on my arrival. The parking spaces on the main street were full. I found a parking space on a residential street a 7 minute walk away.

Unfortunately there was no mention of a bar/nightclub that is part of the Inn in the description. There was very loud techno dance music until 2 in the morning. It was extremely loud. We could not sleep until after the bar/night club closed.

We used the hotel for our last night before flying out of Dublin. For this, it was ok. However, the room hasn't seen a vacuum cleaner for a bit, and in the folds of the chair were breadcrumbs.
