All ok but wanted to check out later as elderly mum couldn't sleep, the receptionist was reluctant to accommodate us, that is fine but be nice please, just a little empathy would have been great.

Pros:

Overall an okay stay but the room was stuffy and hot. Could be improved by a fan. The property/building wasn't in the best shape. Staff were overall very friendly.

Pros:

Room was extremely warm with no aircon.
Plumbing system kept us up all night as whenever any room near us flushed a toilet, it caused a 60 second fighter jet sound in our room.
Doors at the end of corridor and in room next to us lacked a soft close - instead they slammed shut and at all hours of the night which led to 2 sleepless nights.
Asked for a mud treatment at 4pm and was practically laughed by 3 staff members at the reception saying the spa closed at 5pm and there was ‘no chance’ even though it was vacant for our entire spa visit.
I did receive a great Swedish massage from Naiomi.
Over all, very poor. Unfortuantly will not return.

Weekend away in Ballybofey.
Pros:

Two night stay. Lovely room. A little noisy from children across the hall.
We had one meal in hotel which was very good. Staff were very helpful especially on the Saturday night when we had booked a local Indian only to be overbooked. We got back to the hotel and restaurant had closed, but a lovely young lad got us sandwiches and chips off his own bat.

Was ok
Pros:

The staff were nice. Dinner was good. Our room was not worth what I paid. It was very dated and not at all sound proof. Not sure what was situated underneath but it sounded like a huge speaker was blasting music. The breakfast was not worth 15 euro each. The pastries tasted days old and the hot food was just ok.
