There's no way you'll miss the Blue Quay Rooms - the walls are painted with pretty much the brightest blue in the spectrum and it's a prominent building overlooking the harbour, so no directions needed.
The recent surge of creative genius from Connemara hospitality legends Paddy and Julia Foyle, it's run with style by Toby Foyle and Pauline Petit - and the word 'Rooms' has been selected with care, to distinguish it from its classy elder sister the iconic Quay House a little further on down on the waterfront where, by contrast, there is an emphasis on personal service.
The house - which was completely refurbished in 2016 - dates back 200 years in parts and retains a pleasing sense of age, but the important things (plumbing and the fire system, for example) are all new.
Originally a budget B&B, the current offering is self-catering only, but this is budget accommodation with a difference - the gorgeous colours and wonderfully unexpected furnishings and artefacts will bring a smile to the face of the weariest traveller.
All round, it's an unusual accommodation option in this scenic town.
