Lovely hotel, i have stayed here several times. Staff are really nice. Breakfast was a disgrace as it is one set price so we paid €27 for cereal x 2, tea x 2, toast and yoghurt. The cereal was also a cheap brand and it was stale.

Wed Sept 3 the hotel itself was nice. town was beautiful. While eating our meal- (mine had a hair in it. Nothing was done when I reported it "my apologizes") my observations.... There was a party of some sort going on. they disrupted other diners by blocking a door open on a chilly night. The REAL problem was a child that was part of the party grabbed a handful of paper straws off the bar and put them in her mouth. THEN put all but 1 back in the straw container on the bar. I mentioned this to the bartender and to who I thought was the manager on duty. The bartender removed the straws but did not throw them away- just removed them to the back of the bar. I was watching to see what was going to be done. Unacceptable by anyone's standards! We left the dining room immediately! Sad because we were enjoying ourselves in your lovely hotel & town.

Noise was off the charts, but breaky was great

The noise level was off the charts and they couldn’t do anything about it on a Sat night. From kids running between rooms slamming doors and yelling in the hallways even after telling them to please be quiet is wild enough from 9:30-11:30pm, but we were not told that we have a room right above the restaurant and that they play live music until 11:15pm some nights including the night we were there. It vibrates through the floor and even with ear plugs, it was loud enough to sing to the lyrics. We would have changed rooms knowing that because we had an early start. I understand this is a hotel and there are many noise factors, but there has to be some level of expectation towards people’s comfort. They should invest in soundproofing their ceiling in the restaurant long term or warn people upfront short term. The foyer was pretty and has a beautiful perfume spray. The breakfast in the morning was top notch. The finishes in the room and hallways don’t match the age of the foyer and restaurant but I’m sure they will Reno eventually. Our room smelled like cigarette smoke also, which was off putting, but thankful my parents didn’t get that room because my Mom is allergic to it.

The hotel was very nice and clean. Bar staff very helpful. We did not use the other amenities but they were available. The hotel was next door to a large shopping area and we walked into town for an evening meal.

Brilliant staff and food, pool was just ok

Staff and service was great the down fall was the small family rooms with one small window that could not open the full way there was a fan in the room but didn’t really help with the heat.the pool is very small no kids pool as advertised, there is a fitness class on every morning from 9-10 am which take over the pool but guest are not informed of this before hand which means guests can’t really access the pool till after 10 am and are left waiting at the side of the pool if you don’t know this. Lockers in dressing rooms were broken was had to find one that locked.

Good property. Don’t think it is a 4 star property though, more so 3.5 star. Room was clean, beds were very comfortable, breakfast was great. Great location, walkable to stores near by. Property could use some updating to get up to a true 4 star rating.
