"The Connaught is the name of the province Galway is in, and a guide later told me this is the largest hotel in all of Galway. So, the good thing is that the hotel is huge and quite professional, as it's split into several buildings that are quite far apart. On the way to my room, I even passed by a public gym and a childcare center. Both the above-ground and underground parking lots are very spacious, which is great if you're driving. The downside of such a large hotel, however, is that you shouldn't expect much in the way of service. Room cleaning usually didn't happen until around 3 PM, and there were no slippers provided by default (good thing I brought a pair from my Dublin hotel!). The hotel doesn't have air conditioning, but luckily, I didn't catch the heatwave that was happening in the UK at the time. There's a supermarket and post office right opposite the hotel where you can buy bus passes and groceries. Plus, there are several different bus stops that go to Galway city center, so transportation is very convenient."
