Pros:

location good, just off the main road, beside a town, close to emerald park where we were going

Cons:

Rook was dirty, a lot of things were broken in the room, staff weren't very helpful, extra charges for everything, €50 charge when checking in, never happened before and this was our 3rd time staying.

Do not recommend
Pros:

The food was good, the staff were friendly and the hotel was clean

Cons:

We booked a suite for our honeymoon and we were put in what I would describe as a large double room, the photos of the room when booking do not match the room we were put in. The room also wasn't ready when we arrived which was after check in time. There was no phone in our room so I had to use my own phone to call reception. As already mentioned we were staying for our honeymoon and there was no fuss made by the hotel in regards to that in any way. Will not be staying again, it's a waste of money as we weren't even put into the room we paid for.

Pros:

Our room was spacious and the leisure centre was very good.

Cons:

The menu in the restaurant is a bit boring.
The food is average, nothing bad about it but certainly nothing amazing about it for what it costs.
