I'd recommend the Galway Bay hotel, small modern hotel, well located and very convenient to get to. I'd steer clear of Jury's Inn- probably the tightest car park in Ireland (I thought) and if you're landed with a room adjacent to the the street or river you will not sleep. The noise from late night revellers is appalling. I've stayed in city centre hotels in Dublin, including Temple Bar which could not compare with Jury's Inn in terms of the level of noise late at night.
