Hidden gem

I checked on line but unfortunately I had to wait about 15mins approx as a group were ahead. The receptionist was very apologetic She was very pleasant however I think she could have done with help as there was another waiting behind me. I had no fault after that. I will come back again.

This is a must stay if your traveling to Galway and needing a place for the week or night. Easy parking, friendly staff, much nicer showers than most I've stayed at across Ireland. Only "small" complaint the TV size was a little disappointing but I was only in for the night on a work trip so didn't affect my stay.
