I found the location quite ideal. A short walk led to the main restaurants. the proximity to the river gave a sense of being away from everything (a peaceful retreat after busy days). the breakfast selection offered many choices, a highlight compared to other hotels we often visit.
the wifi signal strength was inconsistent , requiring occasional reconnection.

Catherine greeted us warmly at check-in. i found a tall, dark-haired girl especially helpful the next morning. tadhg and his trainee in the bar provided attentive and cute service. It felt wonderfully normal!
i found no sockets available near the bed, a real inconvenience. charging my devices overnight became quite tricky as a result of this oversight. it's a simple fix i hope they consider.
