Hi everyone,

I'm looking for suggestions of a place to stay in Galway within walking distance of the downtown area. We'll have two twenty somethings with us that will want to explore the pub/music scene and while my husband and I enjoy good trad music, we'll probably be heading back to our rooms before they will. None of us want to worry about parking or having to drive in and out of the area for the evening.

My husband and I stayed at Jury's the last time we were in Galway, and while you couldn't beat it for convenience, the room, bed, and general shabbiness were not something we'd want to repeat. We'd probably stay three nights, with some day trips to Connemara. We'd be interested in a B&B or possibly an apartment type situation and would love some input from folks who have had successful, pleasant stays in the area.

Thanks! Wren
