Lough Derg

I booked this by accident and didn’t realize that it was a room, but it worked out well. It was convenient to the airport. The room was spacious and comfortable. The thing that caused me concern was that it didn’t have a private bath, but that was not an issue. We were able to use the facilities at will with no wait or inconvenience. I hadn’t stayed in a place like this before, but I would consider staying again. We had privacy. I wasn’t able to make tea in my room, but I didn’t ask for help either, so, not a big deal.

My stay in an all-female room with four beds was comfortable. The room was clean and spacious. The noise from the street was a bit much, especially the neighborhood dog that barked at different hours of the night (should have brought my ear plugs). It was Halloween night, so this was probably the reason. Be prepared to go up and down multiple flights of stairs. The all-female bathrooms were clean and spacious as where the showers, but it was impractical to go down a flight of stairs to get there. I was told new bathrooms will be installed on the second floor. The reception area needs an aesthetic revamp. I was able to leave my luggage in a secure area after checking out, this was a plus for me. A bus stop and convenience store is less than half a block away (another plus). It took me 20 to 25 minutes to walk to the Molly Malone statue, which IMO wasn't too bad. Don't lose your key card or you'll be charged $20. The staff was great. I would probably stay there again in the future.

It was great having outside space but would have been nice to have chairs out there. Some cloths/sponges for washing g up would have been useful
