The rooms are wide and comfortable. The only complaint we had was that the breakfest buffet was supposed to be 7:30-9:30 AM. On Saturday morning, August 30, they ran out of almost all the items by 8:50, including coffee. The restaurant manager said they did not expect so many guests to show up.

This hotel is cute but quite average when it comes to value. We stayed 1 Sunday nicht over the Labor Day weekend and it was way too overpriced for what it was. The place was clean. Nice pool, gym and hot tub. Breakfast was a very basic buffet with some scrambled eggs; bacon; potatoes; toast and some fruit. Definitely not anything to write home about. The Breakfast set up did not include decaf coffee so i had to get it from the lobby. Our so called VIP room for $320 per night was facing the parking lot and the extremely loud exhaust fan system in the front of the hotel. The room had very uncomfortable chairs but the bed and bedding were good. So it was sort of a hit or miss stay for us. I would not stay there again. I'm sure it's way less expensive during regular days so might be a better value then but for the holiday weekend it really wasn't.

Loved it!

We loved our stay. The lobby and downstairs are beautiful! The complimentary breakfast was delicious! We also appreciated the thoughtful tea time and the tea/coffee room. The staff was very very kind and helpful. We did enjoy one dinner in the restaurant and it was amazing!!

Lovely and authentic

We stayed here for a week in June/July, 2025, for a family vacation. Our room was clean and comfy. Loved all the authentic Irish touches. The pub was very authentic. Great staff. The included breakfast was very good, as well as afternoon tea. We enjoyed our meals at the pub. It's a short distance to the "downtown" shops, restaurants & tours. We would definitely stay here again!
