Great staff needs update
Pros:

Generally the staff were lovely. Allowed early check in which was great. The location isn't too far from Galway however its in a difficult place off the highway. The rooms are spacious and nice. However in our room no plugs beside bed. At opposite side of room so annoying when charging phone. The TV needs updating as its not a smart tv and we couldn't put on any movies. Other than that a fab place.

Amazing experience & location
Pros:

Stayed here just last weekend with my family and what a lovely hotel this is with the best staff. From booking stage to check out i was looked after very well. This hotel is in a great location also only walking distance. It was my little boys birthday and they left a kovely surprise in the room for him and also brought out a cake after our meal and sang happy birthday. I would like to say a huge thankyou to all the team especially the Deputy General Manager Dean he went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent stay. We ate both nights as the food was top notch. I will definatley be returning and will highly recommend to all my friends and family.
Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

Pros:

The room wasn’t ready we arrived. When we were able to get into our room there was an overpowering smell best described and someone dumping an entire bottle of cologne on the carpet. When we mentioned it we were told to try turning on the ac to circulate the air. This did not work. Hours later the smell was strong as ever an made it very difficult to sleep. The shower dripped at night as well. The nexf day upon check out we again mentioned the overpowering smell and were told it was antiseptic spray or possibly air fresher used by the cleaning staff. Simply said they would mention it. Would not stay again or recommend
