“This hotel clearly sweats the small stuff, from its beautiful rooms to its attentive staff; the croissants in the foyer are a particularly nice touch. The location is ideal for exploring Derry on foot, though parking can be tricky, and a too-soft mattress was an issue for some. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.”
