A relaxed and pleasant stay in a great location. Will return when I’m next passing through.
Pros:

Great location, comfortable room and friendly front desk staff. Plenty of great food options nearby.

Cons:

At the time of booking, I wasn’t aware that the harbour view rooms have a well used road directly out front and the windows aren’t sound proof . Ultimately this was not a problem as the traffic flow stops between 11-6ish.

Long weekend stay with family
Pros:

We have stayed at the Maritime with our kids on 2 occasions for long weekends and have always had a great experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the facilities are great. Free parking is also a big bonus and the location is brilliant.

Cons:

We stayed over the Halloween weekend and there was a kids party on our floor. Unfortunately the corridors to the rooms weren't supervised and the kids were running riot in the hallways. I did call reception and in fairness they settled it down eventually.

Not the best. If you like crushed velvet you might like this. There was an international tattoo convention so loaded w p
Pros:

Run down

Cons:

We had to take one elevator up a Freon floors then get out and walk down a very long hallway to another elevator to got up and then walk down a very long hallway to the room. Smelled musty and old. Dim and dingy

Bantry made a good base for us, but the quality of sleep we got at the Maritime was disappointing.
Pros:

The food was good and the staff were attentive and friendly. When we asked to move rooms after the first night, the change was made without any questions which was a relief - 'Thank you' to the young lady on reception who made that happen. Both rooms we stayed in were well equipped. (See views from the top floor room attached).

Cons:

We spent our first night of two in a first floor room overlooking the bay across the road. The noise from the road was so loud that on more than one occasion we checked that the windows were actually closed. They were, but the standard of sound proofing definitely needs improving. We both had a very poor nights sleep! For the second night we moved to a room on the 4th floor that was quieter, and we both slept better. If we return it would only be to stay in a top floor room.

Pleasent and comfortable on the cusp of being dated but not quite yet
Pros:

Nice location, swimming pool was great, the food fantastic, staff very friendly, rooms were comfortable Free underground car park was helpful Easy walk into town

Cons:

Little pricey, shower was freezing then boiling and took a while to settle down. Swimming hat had to be purchased to use the pool but others were in not wearing them. Bit of a maze, I expect that the hotel has been extended several times
