The hotel offers spacious rooms with a view of the harbor, though they need some decorating. The service was friendly and helpful, making our stay for our wedding anniversary special. The location, directly in the center of Killybegs overlooking a working harbor, was the standout feature. The dining experience had limited choices, and the buffet breakfast was not cooked to order. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
