Stayed on a room-only basis, and got a massive room for a very reasonable price. Clean, well designed, very comfortable. I've eaten breakfast here before, and it's also very good. Can't say the same about the evening menu, but I always go in to Galway or Oranmore to eat. Reception staff friendly, lots of parking at the rear.
