We were there on Sunday evening, and our room looked out over the square. It was actually very quiet. The beds are very comfortable, the rooms are newly renovated, and everything is up-to-date and modern. We were on the second floor, I guess the first floor in Ireland is the way they describe it, and there was a flight of steps that we had to lug our suitcases up. They were pretty steep and narrow, but no more than what you run into in many places in Ireland. And we were able to carry our full-size suitcase going up the steps easily. Street parking is probably more available after the shops close in the evening then during the daytime.
