Spring stay Castleisland
Pros:

Super locations, staff and service. Very clean. Restaurant fabulous and catered for vegans, no problem.

Cons:

Bath panel was cracked broken. Could have been dangerous. Rooms, although clean and comfy would benefit from some modernisation.

Charming
Pros:

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We ate dinner at the restaurant there. Food was tasty, serve impeccable. This hotel lobby is grandiose.

Cons:

The fire alarm rang not once, but twice. Once at 6am, then again 6:15 am. UGH! Other than that, our stay was fine. I did have to ask for a hair dryer. It wasn't in the room.
