Great hotel in great town
Pros:

Great location and clean hotel. Wonderful breakfast

Cons:

The car park is not a ‘hotel car park’ but a public parking around the back. Not an issue as only €3 a day

Pros:

location and staff

Cons:

Room was cold and that was with an electric radiator as well as wall radiator (which only came on rarely and didn't get very warm)., shower had a leak, their room needs upgraded terrible wallpaper, tiny telly not much bigger than a laptop. I know they were in the midst of renovating so maybe the room I was in may also get it.

ONLY ONE PLACE TO STAY IN WESTPORT
Pros:

Yet again I had a truly relaxing time in this lovely, very personasble hotel. I have stayed there many times for their wonderful Westport Jazz club nights, with one event surpassing the previous one. Thanks to Darren and all the crew in the Clew Bay, will see you all again soon and many times before the year is out.

Ballina to Westport for the weekend ... the Clew Bay Hotel delivered on all fronts.
Pros:

The Clew Bay Hotel is gem in the heart of Westport. At the helm are Darren and Maria and together with their friendly & efficient staff they made our stay such a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Facilities are wonderful, the room was spotless and the food was delicious.
Walk out the front door and you're in the centre of Westport in a matter of minutes.
Parking is right beside the hotel.
I would heartily recommend The Clew Bay for a holiday break. We spent the weekend and while only travelling from Ballina, it felt like a proper break away.
Thank you to all the staff at the Clew Bay Hotel. We will be back for sure.

Fantastic stay at The Clew Bay Hotel.
Pros:

I, with my sister and Mother stayed in The Clew Bay Hotel for 2 nights. From the moment we walked in the door our experience was positive. This hotel ticked every box. The staff first of all are so friendly and efficient. They really made our stay such a good one. The decor of the hotel is beautiful and the room was so spacious to cater for the 3 of us. The owners are so friendly and involved and make you feel so welcome.. Parking is excellent and to be in the centre of Westport you just walk straight out to the shops!. Food was so gorgeous from our evening meal to the brilliant breakfast. So overall, 5 stars all the way. We will definitely be back. From the Ballina ladies. 😁

Nice weekend ... dreadful weather
Pros:

Nice clean hotel. Lovely friendly staff. Loved all the artwork. Very central. Breakfast nice but I would have like more choice, maybe fresh fruit.

Cons:

The pillows in the beds were a little low for me causing neck pain.
I think bottled water should be provided. Chlorine in water supply.
