What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Galway?

A motel is a great option if you're getting ready to road-trip around Galway. These escapes are usually located near major roads and airports, feature on-site parking and come with basic amenities and services. Check in to a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a wider range of rooms and additional amenities like a gym, lobby and free WiFi, you can expect to pay more for hotel accommodation.
