Very poor value for money, needs decorating, cleaning and carpets redone/replaced
Pros:

Location was good and parking, car charging etc

Cons:

The rooms were poorly painted, the carpet was all sagging and needed retrenching, not very clean either, definitely not worth the cost, a Travelodge would be cleaner

Lovely hotel but sort out your kitchen
Pros:

Lovely interior

Cons:

The food was dreadful, 1 main course sent back as it was cold and uncooked, 1 main course very poor. None of the food had any flavour - shame as it ruined the stay

Not For Us
Pros:

Beautiful building,big spacious room,staff were superb,would we stay again,probably not

Cons:

So expensive for 1 night,nearly €400 with breakfast and a big steep walk into town and back again,so not ideally situated for everyone,so you’d need taxis there and back

Bad staff made the stay unfortunate
Cons:

Staff were not very pleasant :( During breakfast, we stood waiting for a seat while a staff member (an older lady with red hair) strolled past us multiple times without acknowledging us. A simple “I’ll be with you in one moment” would have sufficed. After finally taking our order, we witnessed her be extremely welcoming and helpful to other guests waiting for a seat. We understand being busy, but her attitude should have been the same with EVERY guest then. She cleaned off other guests’ dirty plates while ignoring our table until another staff member cleaned off our table. This confirmed for us that she did not want to wait on us.

Other incident with staff^^ When checking in, a blonde lady staff member was not very welcoming and quite short with us. She kinda glanced at us like we were lost and not in the right place.

The whole ordeal felt prejudiced and I don't EVER use that word lightly. Management was notified and I hope that behavior is corrected as NO paying guest should feel ostracized or less than.

Room. Very big however the shower didn't drain so water made its way out of the bathroom literally flooding the floor… We were told that’s because the building is old and there's nothing they can do :/

Food. Lunch was decent however the club chicken sandwich was on HARD toasted bread and the chicken was boiled/bland. Breakfast wasn’t good. The buffet wasn't stocked properly. And the omelette, I ordered tasted bland and cold. They don't appear to source their food locally as I saw a Sysco truck ):

We don't recommend anyone coming here, and we won't be returning.
