Room wasn't ready despite arriving after check-in time. Arrived to bloodstained bedsheets, had to ask at reception for them to be changed. Poor turndown service with items left unfinished including piles of dirty linen left behind and items being washed up in bathroom sink. Response from hotel staff was pretty underwhelming; check-in and out all done on self-serve kiosks which were slow or just didn't work and needed staff help anyway. Overall a pretty lacklasture trip only saved by the excellent food and staff in the restaurant bar.

A very nice me property but service was lacking in some respects. The room was not furnished with enough towels. Only two for theee guests. The house phone is non- functional so a trip to the front desk was required to request an additional towel. The TV would not work due to dead batteries in the remote. In addition the mounting was loose leaving the tv drooping and pointing downward. A request for service was answered but took more than an hour. And the tv mount was “fixed” by propping it up with a folded towel. The service person did not have any tools and could not tighten the screws.

Generally of a high standard but what is awful about this hotel are the very noisy drunks outside and the Mexican restaurant next door. On our last night, Friday 1st to Saturday 2nd August , the music was very, very loud and it did not stop until 3am - (on the dot) . We were unable to get any sleep- and this was in a top-of-the-range, executive room. I would not recommend a stay at this hotel until this situation is sorted out by the hotel management

Disappointing stay due to homeless shelter

Check in was online and easy. Welcome from the manager at reception was nice and friendly. Triple room was spacious and clean and had good amenities. We only made breakfast once out of 3 nights, due to my next comment, and it was really good selection and worth the steep cost. Unfortunately we were at the side of the hotel from the river which has a homeless facility. Every night there would be a large group shouting and swearing trying to get medication or a bed for the night. Mental health issues banging heads against walls and fighting with each other. This was on and off throughout the early hours and even with the windows fully shut, it woke us numerous times. Garda attended a few times but they didnt move them on. This unfortunately made our stay unbearable with the noise and we didnt get much rest. I would not stay here again or recommend it due to this, especially as the cost of the hotel was expensive per night. Such a shame as this could of been a really nice stay. I informed the hotel who offered a free coffee but not much they could do unfortunately
