We checked in for a one-night stay & had an interesting night. The convention rooms are large and well-connected to the hotel, and we were lucky enough to come while the Sligo Tattoo convention was on, so we both got tattooed while we stayed! Our check-in and other interactions with the front desk staff were good, but I wouldn't say they overextended themselves to be helpful. Perhaps it was simply due to the hotel being quite busy over the weekend. Adding an ATM machine in the lobby or restaurant/bar may be a good idea. The Restaurant had excellent service, and the food was outstanding! We enjoyed our supper and breakfast quite thoroughly! Our look into the history of the hotel building provided us with some interesting reading. Its past as a hospital ( and prior as an insane asylum*) did not deter us from enjoying it, but did explain some things that seemed like remnants of that time ( the locking doors for floor access which have no relation to that past, but did hearken back to it) we enjoyed our stay. However, the hot tub was undergoing repair or renovation. The pool had lane swimming on the morning we went down to access it. It held three elderly people who were vigorously getting in their exercise, which was wonderful but made for no swimming for us. Overall a nice stay. The bed & pillows were extremely comfortable, & our shower head was one of the better ones we experienced on our trip. we were saddened that there was no tub, but that may have been my room choice
