Dirty bed

Awful hotel. Never a 4* star in a million years. The bed sheets were dirty and when they came to change them there was a big hole in the mattress. The mattress springs were also pushing through the bed. The one thing you want when staying in a hotel is cleanliness and a comfortable bed but they weren’t able to provide that. Very disappointing and won’t be returning.

Did not like room 3132. It smelled musty, dampy n the carpet looked dirty. The sheer curtains had two long rips that looked horrible! Definitely not a 4-stars hotel by this room! Moved us to room 1104 which was cleaner n without the musty smell but the table fan was dusty n the small fridge not working. Did not like the service at The Croft Restaurant- the waitress was rude, sulky looking n lacking social skills, not checking on us, not clearing the plates n waited over 45 minutes for the bill! The worst thing was finding a candy wrapper in my salad during lunch next day! The Food Manager apologized n took it off our bill. Lots of other services n maintenance problems with this hotel n certainly not a 4-stars hotel by our experience! The pool n hot tub were nice but the shower stalls in the pool area were not working. The gym has lots of machines that were rusty but having the cleaning spray n towels handy was helpful. I appreciate some of the staff who did gave us good service n others who listened n tried to help out with my concerns, I certainly would expect nothing less especially from a 4-stars hotel, as they claim to be. I don’t think we’ll be back!

Arrived later at night and young lady at desk said no longer checking people in. Said you have to do it on line. So I stand there and book on line. She was extremely rude and then tells her co worker to check us in. Rude to her coworker as well. Last leg of our trip through Norway, Sweden, Denmark and then Ireland.

The main benefit of this property is that it’s close to the airport. They have signs saying a strict no outside food or drink which was disappointing. The rooms also do not have AC so just be prepared for that. It was nice being able to have a 3 bed room for my group.
