It looks like its got an upgrade but the matress was hard and the edges stuck i you, the pillows where horrible and there was a humming sound coming from a white box above the door on the right hand side. Once that sound was in my head i couldnt sleep. Only 2 towels left but ive long hair and need one for that so disappointing. The water left had no lid on it, very strange.

10/10

Was moved to a room that had better Wi-Fi coverage, a minor inconvenience but the staff were always most helpful. Everything else was very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed the swimming pool.. Had breakfast and a couple of evening meals which were a good standard. In the evenings the staff were faultless and I enjoyed the comfort with a pint of Guinness. Many thanks, I stayed for four nights and would recommend this hotel. Ron Sweeney.

Handy hotel with plenty of parking for business in area. A bit out of town but quiet. It’s getting very tired now. The rooms could do with a spruce up and updating. No sockets near or nearby the bed, in addition sockets near desk are taken up with kettle, etc. bathrooms need updating as do 24inch TVs with very poor reception. Bar has a limited menu but of a good standard.

The hotel gives a wow first impression as you enter. Reception was very good, we got in early and stayed in room 210. Was surprised as it was a double plus 2 singles. Room was good and comfotable and shower bathroom wss good. Decent dized room. Bar area was dull and dingey. Ate dinner which was ok but breakfast is the worst i can recall for a long time. Staff had to be asked for drinks, food was poor and dried out, been there a long time and limited selection. For example fruit was a slice of water melon. Sausages were terrible, eggs like bullet. Real shame as restaurant does not fit with rest of hotel which is a 40 minute walk into town. Pretty disappointed with stay to say the least. 9 stay on trip round Ireland and very poor really, especially for the money paid.
