The Dean Galway is a great hotel to stay at. The rooms have air conditioning, which is hard to come by and there is a wonderful fitness center as well as a pool, sauna, and steam room. The hotel is in a great location as we were able to walk every where. Staff were quite pleasant and hospitable.

Nice 3 star Hotel. I would suggest that the owner focus upon the basics, forget trying to be fancy and funny and just provide good service and food! Does their profile mention that they do not have parking?
