Shower in room did not work and there were areas of the room that required a deeper clean. We also had an intoxicated customer arrive at our room door during the night and trying to break the door open. Staff however were excellent and made our stay.

Lovely but needs updating

The staff at the hotel were great, really kind & helpful. The room very big, had everything we needed in it. However the bathroom was very rundown, felt dirty. Lots of old shower products on the tiles, hair in the bath. I asked for it to be cleaned again, however it still felt old and dirty after the second clean. Location of the hotel was great, right in the centre of town but not noisy. Parking across the road was handy, it’s cheaper to pay the carpark directly than pay via the hotel. Overall it was a nice stay apart from the bathroom.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room cleanliness was appalling. There was black mold in the showers, the carpets were thick with dirt and everything was worn and tired looking. The ventilation grill in the bathroom was thick with years worth of dirt. Only redeeming quality was the location but will try other hotels in the area for our next visit. I have photos and am happy to share them with the hotel. We stayed in room 203. We did not address this with the hotel when we were there but hopefully this review will bring it to their attention.

Ok but pricing is double what it's worth

Good location. Little more than a 3 star hotel. Breakfast quality if very poor - feels like they bought the cheapest produce available. Coffee particularly bad. The price of the accommodation are probably double the quality. A run of the mill 3 star standard, charging 5 star prices.

Excellent experience

Perfect location, city centre with car park and swimming pool across the road. Was expecting camp bed for the kids but they had a cubby area with bunk beds very handy. Staff were very friendly and nothing was an issue.Breakfast is the usual full irish buffet style but they do offer made to order if required for vegetarian etc.
