"Literally, it's next to the Giants Causeway. As a result, it's hard to park - even for hotel guests- and can get a little noisy b/c tourists visiting the GC eat/drink right outside your window. I was there in July and there were 6-10 tourist busses there daily. 15 min to Royal Portrush. Good breakfasts."
"Clean rooms and friendly staff. The rooms were big annd the location was great. Avoid eating at their restaurant. The food wasn’t great and the service was slow."
