The staff were wonderful and the breakfast was good. The hotel is clean but very dated - the 80s are alive and well in the Ardboyne Hotel. No HVAC, the king bed was two twins with a very pronounced, unfixable, and uncomfortable split. The tub/shower was shaped like a small canoe, making it difficult to stand in and the water was tepid at best without a serious struggle with the faucet. For the price, it was not a good value and was quite disappointing.
