A terrific spot to enjoy all that Athlone has to offer. Accommodations are smack dap in the center of activity. We enjoyed watching boats come and go through the locks from the comfort of the living room. Another bonus was being able to optimize on all the evening venues within a few minutes walk. Be prepared to be up late if staying throughout the weekend as music and the sound of people enjoying themselves goes well into the wee hours of the morning. Loads of fun!
