Pros:

Room was quiet, walking distance to Clifden restaurants and pubs.

Cons:

Way too expensive for what it was. We got moved from a decent sized room to a smaller room (because they accidentally gave a second group our room - we were napping and had a gaggle of women just walk in on us) to a tiny room on a lesser, louder floor. Everything was very mediocre. Wouldn’t stay again.

Pros:

Excellent location

Cons:

There was a nasty smell near the bar counter and service area which didn’t go away through the day. This was the bar near main reception. It was not coming off the bathroom

Belles prestations.
Pros:

L’emplacement, le confort, les équipements de l’hôtel avec salle de sport et piscine.

Cons:

Nous avons eu une chambre communiquant avec la chambre voisine, séparée par une porte, mal isolée. J’ai du demander aux voisins d’être moins bruyants.

We had delightful stay relaxing after a rigorous couple days of hiking and touring. We wished we could have stayed longe
Pros:

The property is modern, in excellent condition, and spotless. We enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna every day. Very well managed and a great place to meet locals who utilize the pool. The bar was comfortable and well appointed. We enjoyed perusing the many books that provide a great deal of information on Irish history. The staff were very helpful providing information about the surrounding area. We were grateful that they found a lost item. Parking was sufficient and easily accessible to the apartment we stayed in. A short walk to town and extremely quiet.

Cons:

We enjoyed everything about this property.
