This is a great hotel because of the ease of access to the shops in Galway. We prepaid for parking at the hotel and just used that payment ticket to come as go as we pleased from the parking garage. The rooms are smaller than American hotel rooms but very comfortable. The staff was helpful and polite. We slept with the windows open because the weather was so nice.
