Very clean, nice hotel with excellent service. The area has limited services and is a more industrial and shopping area without much to see. Nice rooms.

If you're in Kilkenny, this is the hotel to stay a

The staff at the hotel, no matter the job they have, are the best! Such amazing and friendly service. They were very informative on the area on things to do and places to eat. They were very helpful in lining up any transportation needs. I've traveled for years and there haven't been many hotels that could match their level of friendliness and service
