We spent a weekend in Galway recently and loved it. I would recommend the Westwood House Hotel for clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff and excellent food. For a 4 star hotel it is very reasonable, probably because it's about a 30min walk to the city, but taxis are very affordable, with the friendliest taxi drivers I have ever met!
I'd also recommend the Quay St Restaurant. Though small with questionable decor, I can't remember the last time I had such a great meal.
Galway is alot of fun, I'd recommend a visit to anyone.
