    Bathroom is nice and big. Beds are fine. Room is dated and dusty. Carpet in room is stained. No extra wall plugs near the bed to charge devices. Behind the bedside tables is very dirty with old food on the floor. Edit: Room was extremely hot and could not be cooled. Heard other guests complaining of this. Tile cracked and loose. Shower piping leaking on 3rd which is very concerning with the internal water damage that's creating to the structure of the building. Out of all of my trips in Ireland this is the worst hotel I've stayed in.

    Now understand the last time I was in Galway four years ago, I stayed in a youth hostel. No, I was not going through a mid-life crisis pretending to be a post-adolescent backpacker. It was part of a package tour from Dublin, and I didn't read the small print where it said the default accommodations consisted of a room with seven other beds. It's still there, Snoozles (review: http://bit.ly/2fPCEdr), and I will say the one advantage was its convenient downtown location. The Clayton is nowhere near downtown and feels very much like an airport hotel even though it's not that close to that either. It's near a rather complicated intersection that was beyond the capabilities of our GPS unit. Once you arrive in a car (...as I don't see why a backpacker would end up here), you do a loop de loop to get to the underground garage where there is plenty of parking. It looks contemporary and modern, but as we made our way to our room in what I assume is the annex building, Jamie W. and I noticed how frayed it started looking. At $85 per night, the Double room itself was well priced and decent enough, but the furnishings looked a bit worn (photo: http://bit.ly/2g8ftvt). We also noticed how thin the walls were when the guests next door wouldn't turn off their TV after midnight. On the upside was the helpful front desk clerk who arranged our Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher outing without incident. There was also a Dunnes Store across the street for munchie runs.

    There was a bit of a mix-up upon my arrival at nearly 2 in the morning. They could not find my…read morereservation. It turns out that it was under the name of the colleague who booked the room for me, and that they did not note my details although they were shared with the hotel. The room was a nice size with a queen sized bed and a twin or full sized bed. I could not figure out how to adjust the temperature on the radiator which meant I had a cold first night. The next morning, I discovered that the window had been left open. The second night was more comfortable since the window was closed. There was no comforter or blanket in the room. The breakfast was nice and the servers attentive. There was enough variety of choices of food without it being overwhelming. It is outside of central Galway which is inconvenient if you want to walk around and see the city.

    Stayed here twice now. Location is 5 min drive into city center. Also bus stop directly out front,…read moreabout a 30 min walk into the city. Ample easy parking. Clean and comfy hotel. Bar and restaurant are decent. hotel has good rates, book online and save. Very good choice if you want to be in Galway, have a car and are doing day trips out to Connemara, The Burren etc. But also want to avoid all the city center traffic. I would defiantly stay again. The downsides, although renovated your not going to get stone counters, a high end furniture in the rooms etc. But is certainly not down market either.

The only issue is getting out of there (even for the taxis) requires an awkward drive through a tight parking lot. The entire staff was professional and friendly. I think the decor is cool, lots of velvet and fun colors. Our room was clean and super spacious. Robes and slippers provided. The bed was very comfortable and allowed for a great night of sleep. There's even a mini-fridge that you can actually use and not get charged for. On check in there was a little bag of snacks and a plate of desserts with a lovely welcome note. Turn down service brought some tasty chocolates. Really nice touches. One of the highlights of the stay was the breakfast. These were undeniably our best breakfasts of our week in Ireland.

    Fun place. Rat pack vibe and tons of Frank Sinatra songs play throughout…read more Walking distance to downtown if you're up for an uphill /2 mile walk. They offer valet but there is free self park with elevators that go to the car park. There is a movie theater behind the hotel and nice restaurants in walking distance. I know the decor is deliberate but it feels old and outdated. We had 2 remotes in the room, one worked for the tv in living room and who knows what the other remote was for. The tv in the bathroom didn't have a remote. The gas fireplace was turned off by orders of the county. I loved the water views and the room amenities. Cool place.
