"Everything about this place is clean and tidy. My only complaint is that the room was small. No place to put a small weekend suitcase in the bedroom and the bathroom needs some small shelves for tooth paste ,razor, etc. Just Continental breakfast was all that was available in the morning."

Fitzgerald's Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Fitzgerald’s layout is like a classy place in a civilized place in the okd west. Has an elevator, limited parking, and downstairs is a community area - like a parlor with nice furniture, floors, and drapes. Be a great place for friends to play board games. Not a lot of people were using this- but the cleanliness was immaculate. Our room faced the ocean with great view. Breakfast was very good, with cooked to order breakfast. It’s not fancy, doesn’t have a spa or gym, but it is a great place to stay if visiting Bundoran and could be a great gathering place if visiting with family or friends."
