We enjoyed our stay in the cozy upstairs. The walk from the train was a bit of a hike with gear, and you go from old, historic Galway to 21st century (American-style-shopping-and-strip-malls) Galway along the way. But this is modern Ireland after all. Good, affordable and available (Galway can be hard to book on weekends) lodgings. Mary took good care of us!
