Convenient location in Clifden
Pros:

Location & parking were perfect in the middle of town. Bar & restaurants are nicely furnished. Staff very friendly & helpful. Plenty of water supplied. Good coffee machine.

Cons:

Could hardly open the bedroom window for air. Very loud music from an event opposite until late. Bedrooms need a revamp decor wise ( dated & unappealing carpet/ furniture etc. )

Nice stay in a beautiful part of Ireland
Pros:

Staff were super friendly and helped in any way they could, they were so chatty and that means a lot. Fantastic breakfast on both mornings in a very comfortable room. Plenty of car parking and a relaxing bar.

Cons:

Rooms were a bit dated for the price they were charging. Had to ask to move room for the second night as we had noisy neighbours but staff had no problem re-locating us

Excellent hotel in the Connemara national park
Pros:

The hotel comes with its own bar, restaurant and pub which allows for a selection of places to eat and drink for various prices and at different levels of noise level / atmospheres. The food in each of these places was excellent and the service was great. We truly enjoyed the hotel as it was in the national park, accessible by buses and at a walkable distance from the city center and its pubs / restaurants which made it very calm. We also went to the spa for a cozy day and it was a great experience as well.

Cons:

The hotel is a bit on the expensive side however, it was worth every single Euro spent in our opinion.

Very enjoyable stay in a great hotel, with wonderful staff.
Pros:

Great location. Breakfast great. Good evening entertainment in the bar. Friendly staff. Receptionists charming and helpful, bar man cheerful and breakfast staff did an amazing job over a very busy weekend.

Cons:

The water pressure in the rooms was a bit variable, which meant for a challenging shower in the morning. Also the rooms were very hot
