Best rooms
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.
Request rooms on the third floor or higher, as they tend to be quieter due to being further away from the ground-level service entrance and potential street noise on Emmet Square. Additionally, rooms on the south side of the building might receive some afternoon sun.
Rooms to avoid
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.
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the service entrance, as they may be subject to noise from staff and deliveries. Rooms on the first floor may also experience some street noise from Emmet Square.
