Avoid rooms facing the rail and bus stations in back, as they are dreary and noisy.
Fodor's
"Victorian character and restrained opulence with black-and-white-checkered tiles, sash windows, solid oak fixtures, and crystal chandeliers. The upstairs corridors are still wide enough."

"The four-star Galway Bay Hotel is located 2 km (1 mile) from Galway city center, overlooking the promenade at Salthill. Rooms are stylishly furnished, and the best ones have views of Galway Bay."
