“The hotel stands out for its dedication to Irish culture, from live music to a proper Guinness, near enough to the beach. I think families, in particular, will find the connecting rooms a real advantage, as well as its location close to the tram. Though some rooms could use a refresh, the proximity to Gold Coast's attractions makes it a solid choice for leisure travelers.”
