The area of Kilkenny is absolutely beautiful. Our room was not beautiful. Shower did not work, no room to sit forward on the toilet as the space was far to narrow and I am only 5”5, bed frame was broken and even after fixing legs in the middle of the night found the legs came loose and found the bed tilted again. Then at 5:52 am the unloading of the flatbed of kegs was jolting! This lasted for 10 minutes. Figured the nightlife would keep us up but it was the early morning disturbance that got us.
