Pembroke Hotel
Hotel and staff were very nice. They have an issue with their tubs. They are too tall and do not have grab rails to get out and a high probability for falling

Hotel Kilkenny
Comfortable stay. Great staff with excellent breakfast options and service. Leisure centre and pool facilities were excellent and staff polite and friendly. Only downside the room was not ready untill 1630 which shortened our stay.
