Drogheda - what to do??

Oh yeah it's across the road. I paid €89 for a double room without breakfast, and it was coming out at something like €30 extra for the breakfast. Bru was a good bit cheaper, and nice to get out somewhere else.
For €89 a night, it is far more than 'nice'. Looking for a shower in addition to a bath is being very picky. I've stayed in hotels in France, Germany, London, Argentina and all over Ireland in the past 12 months, and I can only think of one that had a separate bath and shower.

It's across the river, hardly across the road.

The D has been €59 since the beginning of the year.

No it isn't.

Looking for a shower in addition to a bath is being very picky

%95 of hotels in Europe and the USA have walk-in showers so I fail to see how I am being picky.

I've stayed in hotels in France, Germany, London, Argentina and all over Ireland in the past 12 months, and I can only think of one that had a separate bath and shower

I've stayed in hotels in 35 states out of 50 in the USA, in an abundant of hotels in Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain, France, Italy, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Cyprus, Malta and others and I can count on 1 hand with my fingers how many times there has been a hotel with a shower in the bath.

End of story.

Sorry, it's not Bru. Haven't heard great things about that place. It's the place across the road and up the steps I'm thinking about.
I'm not lying, I paid €89 twice this year for a double room, and at that it was the special internet rate. And very good value I thought.
As for the rest of the comments, we'll have to agree to disagree.

the cheapest rates are infact €62 per night with hotels.com but we got 2 nights b and b for €140 on tablet hotels website..... because of a cock up on their system!!

The New Central!! Just look for the herse permanently parked outside waiting for it's next victim! Worst pub in Ireland.

I'd probably avoid West Street/Peter Street (centre of the town) when the niteclubs are chucking out. Other than that, Drogheda is a fairly safe place with good pubs and mostly friendly people. McPhails and McHughs are the best central pubs, and have decent live music 4/5 nights a week.

Definetely visit Newgrange, and the Battle of the Boyne heritage centre if you get a chance.

LOL @ Little Wembley.
