Good central hotel with friendly staff.
Pros:

Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast.

Cons:

Bathroom was a bit dated but adequate. The room opposite our housed laundry and staff were accessing it from 6.40 am. They were quiet but the door opening/closing woke me each morning.

Really enjoyed our stay. Would stay again
Pros:

Great location , good sized room great breakfast

Cons:

I would have thought for the price there would have been bottles of water in the room , rather than have to go to the bar and ask for water

Overpriced bad food and accommodation
Pros:

It was a very hot day and evening room was like an oven with no aircon.

Cons:

A big mix up with them about our booking. We were made wait for an hour without an offer of a sit down or any refreshments. The food was not good. I had dry chicken with a few too well done veg. On the whole it wasn’t a good experience.
Won’t be staying there again that’s for sure.

A wonderful hotel & community
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at the Clew Bay Hotel, spending 4 nights in Westport. The room was comfortable, all of the staff were pleasant and helpful. Couldn't have picked a more centrally located hotel. In the midst of a huge tourist crunch, the ongoing celebrations of the All-Ireland Football Championship, and a packed hotel I was so amazed and pleased that both Darren and Maria took some time to sit and chat with a couple of Americans visiting their hotel and community. We had a glorious time with all the sights, sounds and people of Westport.
