Best rooms
Request a room on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) for a quieter stay. These floors are likely to be away from the main road (R415), which runs along the front of the hotel.
Request a room on a higher floor (above floor 3) to minimize street noise from the Roscrea Road. The hotel's 3-star rating suggests a relatively straightforward layout, so rooms on higher floors are likely to be quieter due to fewer foot traffic and less noise from the ground floor.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift or service entrance, as these areas may be prone to noise from guests and staff. Rooms near the front of the hotel may also experience some noise from the road.
Rooms on the ground floor or floor 1 may be noisier due to potential foot traffic and noise from the reception area, though this is not guaranteed.
