Found the hotel a solid value - good sized rooms and clean. Good breakfast in the dining area. A good first night place to switch gears and then set off the next day well rested. Not much in the area except the airport and open fields, about a 20 minute drive to Bunratty Castle.
If it is your first time to Ireland and if you did take the red eye to get there, I would strongly recommend you hold off renting the car and just walk over to this hotel and rest up. A good rest and you'll be right as rain and even the driving won't disturb you. Ireland will keep drawing you back and as you get used to the changes it is easier to just get off the plane and jump in a car.
Good restaurant and pub.
