Great location and the leisure centre was good
Pros:

The swimming pool and the jacuzzi was really good. The property was very central to Salthill & Galway city. We could walk to both places safely. The music was lovely on the Saturday nite .

Cons:

The bedrooms were really small. The windows were covered in birds poo and wasn’t cleaned throughout our stay.

Fantastic five star staff
Pros:

Staff were exceptional, they were friendly, knowledgeable and polite. They couldn't have done more to make the stay enjoyable.
Location was also excellent

Cons:

There is an anti bird call going from early morning to late at night, this was distressing to say the least, my two children are neurodivergent which alot of distress as they thought it was a bird in pain. It also woke us up quite early as it is very loud. The hotel may need to rethink this and inform guests so guests can make an informed decision as to whether they want to continue their stay or have a choice of rooms away from this incessant distressing noise.
Just on a side, the pool is much smaller than expected and it had lane swimming which doesn't always suit families with children, this also should be communicated upon arrival or beforehand again to make an informed decision.

Gorgeous setting for Galway
Pros:

Lovely location just outside Galway & very near the coast. The stay was booked during a 70th birthday celebration, we were amazed to have been given a large comfortable family room with a surprise box of chocolates & a card. Breakfast was included which was a bonus, unfortunately we weren’t able to eat in the restaurant due to a function that night.
