Great location. Wonderful staff.
Nice hotel. We were an hour early and were lucky our room was ready. Rooms are small, no fans. Could use a shelf in bath for toiletries, no space. Updating hotel so had construction below us. Noise was minimal. Elevators stop between floors so you do need to take luggage up and down several steps.

Wonderful Western!
The Western was a wonderful experience. Great location and terrific staff. The concierge staff was helpful, efficient, and professional. The restaurant was some of the best food we had for the entire trip and the staff was friendly and organized. The bar staff was lovely and we enjoyed the live music. And the parking was easy- the valet staff was friendly and qualified. Overall, we would stay here again and would recommend it to our family and friends.

The beds and bedding were uncomfortable. The room was hot and with no fan in the bathroom the room got damp. We had to leave the window open and could hear people putting trash into the dumpster multiple times at night. Anytime someone upstairs moved the whole room shook. They did not provide lotion or conditioner.

We loved the Western. The location was amazing. We walked to all the shopping, attractions and pubs. Our room had amazing views and was spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our last night we spent in the hotel pub and they had the most amazing musicians playing and singing. We really enjoyed this and wanted to stay longer. We hope to stay here again someday. Thank you for such a great time!!!

The hotel was in walking distance to the fun in Gallway. It has a parking garage underneath that was a little tricky but the attendants helped with moving the cars. Best part was coming upon a jam session in the bar of local music!

Charming, in a great location, a lot of road noise
The hotel was in a great location about a 10 minute walk from the city center. It had free onsite parking which was really convenient. The restaurant was charming and had good food. The breakfast was nice. I would have given it a 5 but the hotel did not have air conditioning so we had to leave our windows open at night to keep the room cool and there was a lot of traffic noise. We brought a sound machine that helped but it would have been difficult to sleep without it.
