Pros:

The food was excellent and held to a high standard no matter what time of day.
A Very clean hotel. The pillows on the bed were very comfortable. It has plenty for kids to do without leaving the hotel. It has a swimming pool, a brillant soft play area for the kids and a fairy garden for them to explore outside.

Cons:

Nothing, it was a great stay

The breakfast wasn't great. Scrambled eggs a bit dry and the food felt like it had bred there a while.
No fridge. Always handy.

Pros:

Staff were excellent as was the food - both dinner and breakfast.

Cons:

Breakfast buffet was good but little attempt to add veg e.g. tomatoes, etc. Meat meat meat is the order of the day.

Pros:

Welcoming and helpful staff. Big room.

Cons:

Bed was quite small, especially for tall people. The shower only had a fixed wall-mounted water outlet, without a detachable handheld shower head, which made it less practical; additionally, no slippers were provided in the room. Overall, considering the price, the room amenities could have been better.

Pros:

The hotel was handy for the motorway for travelling
Very nice staff
Breakfast fantastic

Cons:

The pool was very busy...
I thought it was going to be a Tranquil Spa it was more like a kids play pool....
From what I observed the Hotel Spa and Swimming Pool/Gym etc is more like a local leisure centre..
not a problem just not what i was expected..
Hotel is very isolated not much about it... unless you're will to drive to areas..

Great motorway overnight venue for Galway same day return trips
Pros:

Location along M6 great for break on return trip to Galway

Cons:

Lack of hot meal room service after 8pm. Most 4 star hotels offer room service meals until 9pm. Anyway had a bowl of soup and sandwich delivered to the room which was adequate if not what I had been looking forward to. Business travellers like to get up to room relax and eat up there.

Pros:

Good location & very nice gym/work-out/pool area. Room was clean & cleaning staff great. Close enough to easily walk to train or to walk around Athenry. Bed & linens comfy. Window coverings kept light out.

Cons:

Exterior of hotel in need of care & updating. Plants dying, worn-out carpet in entrance door, worn patio furniture. A bit sad looking. Interior needs updating as well.
