"The Dean was a great spot to stay. Really convenient to the city parking (which they validate for a cheaper rate), downtown shops/restaurants, and the ferry. The room was very clean and comfortable. We didn’t have time to check out the pool or gym, but they looked awesome"

"Room was large and clean. Location was a little outside of center city, but the bus stop was right there and the cabs were not badly priced. Construction was going on which caused a little noise in the morning but overall I thought it was a nice place and a good price."

"初日の夜はバスやタクシーで移動しましたが、天気が良くて荷物が少なければゴールウェイの市街地から歩ける距離にあります。 全体的に綺麗で快適なのですが、他のレビューにあるようにドアがとてもうるさいので夜中は気になります。敏感な方は耳栓を用意するといいと思います。 キッチンは綺麗で設備も十分です。シャワートイレ付きの部屋にしましたが共用のものも綺麗でした。また泊まりたいと思います。"
