La habitación es un poco retró, pero tiene algo romántico que la hace agradable.

Nice hotel close to Salthill. Nice atmosphere in the bar. The breakfast was outstanding.
Our room was a bit dated. The shower area needs updating. The bed was very creaky.

Surprise du lavabo dans la chambre .
Douche et WC exigus ...Pas pour les grands gabarits
