I was passing through Ballina on business and stayed here. After a warm welcome I was shown to my room and was very pleased with the standard of cleanliness and had a lovely meal that night, followed by a good night's sleep. Overall I was very satisfied and would recomend it to anyone who is passing through. It offers value.
