Good hotel centrally located in Bray. Parking is limited but free if you get a space out the front. Room is clean and has everything that you may need.nice sea view also. Staff kindly minded our luggage while we were on a day trip before a late check in. Breakfast was ok. Plenty of choice. They need a deposit of 100 we had it returned after 3 days.also a photocopy of driver license needed. Happy with our stay here.
