Westwood - Good Value in Galway
Lovely old hotel with lovely staff - helpful and friendly.
Onsite restaurant was good food and fair price. Onsite parking was welcome and the location is not far from city centre.

While the hotel is exactly as it appears, it is definitely tired and in need of a good capital improvement.

Music blaring at 1am, no AC
Very disappointing considering the cost. Room so dang hot with no SC, sink had a crack in it and music coming up through the floors until 1am...never again, avoid at all costs.
