The check in was easy and quick. We spent all day touring around Kilkenny and were looking only for a basic room to bed down at the end of the night. In that way the room performed its function well. Eugene was friendly and accommodating. There were useful maps and information available at the door. If I had stayed with a mate we would certainly have had a few pints and a chat with the locals in the pub downstairs. As it was we were up and out early the next day. The description is accurate and I would recommend as part of a road trip.
