The hotel was very impressive upon entry. The person who welcomed us at the front desk was friendly and professional. The room was very spacious and well equipped. We found the TV was very small and the water pressure in the shower could be a bit better. It was convenient to have a restaurant within the hotel. However, based on the rest of the hotel, we had higher expectations. The quality of the food could be improved.

Clean and comfortable
All the staff were great, especially in the restaurant and bar - the young lady supervisor in the blue with dark hair is a huge asset to your team. The food was delicious and service timely. Room a little tired, bathroom disappointing with shower over bath and shower curtain. I'm no longer fond of trying to manoeuvre under a shower head positioned close to the wall, with the curtain clinging to my legs!

Not bad at all
Enjoyed our stay. Only few issues were the dirty carpet in the room, the shower which was awkward to get under, and no sockets beside the bed. Otherwise it was grand.

We enjoyed a nice quiet weekday stay and received a room upgrade which was very nice. Restaurant was okay with a menu dinner and breakfast buffet.

Impressive looking hotel. My room was well furnished and comfortable. The hotel was equipped with a gym ( which I don't use) and a swimming pool, sauna and steam room which I did use. There was plenty of choice at breakfast as both cooked breakfast and continental style breakfast were available. Fresh fruit was also available for breakfast. In general the staff were friendly and helpful. What I found difficult, as someone arriving on public transport was the distance from the bus station and the absence of taxis at the station and no local bus either. It took me almost an hour to arrive at the hotel on foot..It was also very poorly signposted coming from the direction of Ballina town centre. Although I found the majority of staff friendly and helpful there were a couple in reception I found rather offhand and officious. I dined in the restaurant only once (I was there for just two days) and found the food acceptable but not four star.
