Great spot imo

The rooms interconnect so we were able to have our family of 5 stay together which was a big bonus. Most of the other properties gave us rooms near each other, not what I wanted. It’s ok since my kids aren’t toddlers but I preferred the connecting. So big bonus to stay here. Also the kids loved the breakfast here. Be aware the price has increased even though it is not listed. Still worth it though. I enjoyed the location near a launderette, gas station, and food options. Noise level and beds were good too. Room is spacious and I appreciated the table and chairs.

Grand if nowhere else available

Run of the mill hotel, ok for a short overnight. Totally overpriced at €190 room only. The receptionist told us on both days we stayed that the restaurant was extremely busy so booking was essential, and on the 2nd night told us no tables were available between 7pm amd 8.30pm. On both occasions when we went to the restaurant during the "busy/full" times the restaurant was at about 25% capacity. Bizarre!

Overall a great experience. Very friendly, kind, helpful staff; Very clean hotel and room; Amazing breakfast! Full Irish breakfast and more! One problem is the lack of A/C and ventilation in the room. Not having A/C seems common in Ireland, which makes sense since it hardly ever gets very warm. However, the room still got pretty stuffy with 4 people in it, and the window only opened a few inches, plus we could not leave it open all night since we were on the first floor, with a flat roof right there, where birds or anything else that could fit in a small space could easily get in, given that there are no screens. The fan was helpful but it was still too warm and stuffy to sleep with any covers on. Also the pool was fantastic, but we initially had trouble accessing it with our kids after finding out that no children were allowed in after 7PM—which is right when we arrived. This policy was not clearly explained on the website—it only said the kids area would close by 7. Fortunately, the very kind staff accommodated us for a short swim nonetheless, given the circumstances.

Nice overall, some minor maintenance needed

This hotel is essentially at a motorway services. But is far nicer than many motorway service hotels in the UK. Nice rooms, comfy bed, good wifi and slept well. Even though my room over looked the motorway it was soundproofed which was good. I didnt eat here but there was a foodcourt in the services and also another services just a few minutes away. Interestingly though, in my room (215) there is clear evidence that the door to the room and bathroom have clearly been forced open. I hope whatever happened everyone was OK, but fix it and fix it properly as its disconcerting to wonder what might have happened in that room.

We are Canadian performers and checked in late last night after a gig and the staff was terrible . Was not welcoming not friendly didn’t give us any information . Watched as we struggled to bring our bags in . In the room we needed more pillows as we didn’t have any and we called down the staff basically said we were not looking correctly and they were there . We brought up a trolley with our bags it was empty and we were just getting thing settled and the staff walked by and said make sure you put that away . For check out we asked if we could have and extra 15-30min they said for an extra cost . We were not happy at all . I plan on making sure nobody in our company ever stays here , in any country they are in .
