I would highly recommend Hotel Clayton. The staff were very helpful and responded to every request that we made, such as arranging for a taxi. Dining in the evening was not only convenient but the food and the service was exceptional. The room was lovely and we enjoyed quiet respite at the end of the day.

Great property and lots of parking. The facility was great. We had a huge room. Only drawback was the distance to central Galway. It was about 10 miles away from downtown. The person who checked us in was able to tell us what bus to take (which picks you up liberally right outside the hotel) and that was an easy ride but the traffic was heavy so it took 40 min to go down at rush hour but about 15 min return on the bus later after rush hour had passed.
