Back again.

Great parking facilities, lots of room. Friendly, informative, efficient and most helpful receptionist, no delay checking in. Bar and waiting staff all appeared well trained and very courteous to the guests. The bedroom was spotless and the bed very comfortable, had a great sleep. The bathroom was very cramped, and found the shower difficult to adjust the water temperature, otherwise best described as adequate. Have stayed in the Ellison before and hope to do so again.

Nice hotel; busy road is very noisy

Hotel was lovely. Very handy for hikes in the Croagh Patrick range and on Achill. Very clean, spacious room. Shower wasnt that powerful and my room was facing a scout building - i could hear the traffic from the busy main road as the windows are not sound proof.
