The Royal Spa Hotel was comfortable and clean. Not very big as I had a single room, but I wasn't in Ireland to stay in my room the whole time.
I was a pity we were not aware of Christy Moore appearing the following week otherwise we would have changed our dates. There was some music which was good and that was why we wanted to go to Clare. Pizza in the bar at midnight was a great idea.
We are a married couple, late 40s and have stayed at many hotels. The staff were friendly and courtious and one even went out of her way to help by going and purching a present i had seen in a shop earlier, which meant I could surprise my wife at breakfast next morning, something like what a friend would do. Could'nt fault the food,service or the evening entertainment.
