Late arriving.

Pros: Nice bar with a small group playing Irish music. Grand old style Hotel.
Cons: Have a address that can be stored on GPS.
Location: We arrived to late to see the town.
My daughter and I drove from Dingle to Ennis using a GPS. After several hours of looking for the hotel via GPS we called the hotel for the street address. We we told that they didn't have an address. We stopped at a small sea side hotel and they went out of there way to call the Old Grand Hotel and gave us detailed directions as we we 35 Kilometers in the wrong area. This caused us to arrive after 9:00 PM. By then all food service was closed. While the room was very nice it was 1 double bed when we had resurved a 2 bed room. When we pointed this out we were told it was the only room available.
