6/10 Good

A hotel lost in the bygone days

The hotel was a good size, with restaurant, bar, live music. The room was also a good size with a single bed besides the double bed. Overlooking the Quay at Waterford. The hotel did feel tired which was not helped by not having any water for the room, I had to nip to the local store. No safe in the room is unusual. We enjoyed our stay but probably would not return. This was not really a hotel for us. If it was brought back to 2025 then who knows.
