This large, modern purpose-built guesthouse is beside the River Lee Hotel, and there is secure parking in the grounds.
Built to offer hotel quality accommodation at a moderate price, it is comparable to a budget hotel; public areas are not grand but reception is prompt and friendly, and there is bottled water on each floor, newspapers in the breakfast room and generally pleasing surroundings throughout, including original art works.
Spacious guest rooms which include 9 newer ones - are furnished to a high standard (with free broadband, safes, 12 channel TV, trouser press, tea/coffee facilities and room service as well as the more usual facilities) and the bathrooms, some with jacuzzi baths, are well-designed.
Efficient double glazing helps to offset traffic and construction noise in rooms at the front (if you do not need to open windows), but rooms at the back may be a better option.
Breakfast is served in a bright contemporary dining room.
