I never stayed there of course, but I spoke to a couple who stayed there for the Tall Ships and they were happy with it.

Cheapest i found so far is
Rice Guest house. prices gone down used to be 40 /night now its around 30ish. I stayed there a good few times. Basic, but clean and comfortable and they do agood breakfast.
One thing, only minor, but the breakfast ladies are a bit unprofessional in their manner and over familiar with guests imo. anyone else stayed there??

Travel lodge: Certainly not cheap, by no stretch. €65/night f. that. And no brekkie either. I'd never staty there mate.

Maryland House: Believe it or believe it not, but i did staty there once maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Just with it in the news and all and i always thought it was a quirky if not wierd spot. I wandered in one evening and happeded to meet Vinny at the back of the bar. He was doing paperwork or summut and i asked him for B+B. Fine he says, €30.
The place was like stepping back in time, nothing, not even the bedding i'd say has changed in 30 years, all very strange. I was nervous at first but everything was fine, though tthe TV was all fuzzy. Bed not tthat comfy. Bathroom a little grotty but acceptable. I went out and got takeaway chips and brought it to the room.
I got a front door key for AH and was able to go in the side door, the one with the canopy. In the morning i met the woman on the stairs, she stared at me and said i had to check out by 12.00. That was a kinda strange experience. Had my brekkie and was gone. A good experience though i was glad i done it just for curiosity sake.
I have tried booking in theretwice since, once just calling in like before, i met her and she said no vacancies. Another time about a year ago i phoned in to book but she said no vacanies. It seems she wants no-one there but good old vinnie still takes in customers. The whole place, the owners and the general experience is a little surreal and odd.
Whats the story with that place anyway, is it really open or not - the door is always open but no-one ever inside. The bar was deserted apart from vinny and it has not had a redecoration in llike 30 years.
It'd be worth trying it out though.

Funfair
