Si vous voulez dormir aller voir ailleurs
Cons:

Le ménage laissait à désirer des poils dans la baignoire.
Impossible de dormir chambre 126 toute la nuit un bruit de soufflerie très bruyant à l’extérieur, je me suis plaint et on m’a dit que cela allait s’arrêter, je suis retourné à l’accueil à 23h50 plus personne, je n’ai pratiquement pas dormi

Pros:

Great location, very friendly helpful staff,excellent food
Very accessible as they have lifts to all areas

Cons:

Would have preferred walk in shower rather than over bath especially if one has mobility issues. This is just a personal view and in no way reflects the hotel in general

River Island on bank of greater future!
Pros:

Great location,lovely staff members who chatted to us and enquired about our days trips etc. Hotel room lovely and clean and quiet at night.Would go back no problem👍

Cons:

Not so much didn't like as to suggest brighter colour and lights in corridors upstairs and new carpets in rooms would bring the hotel up to a great standard

Pros:

Decent hotel with all the necessary facilities, very friendly staff and good breakfast and dining options. Clean room and nice bathroom.

Cons:

Slightly dated atmosphere and the bed was a bit too soft for our liking. Located on Main Street in Castleisland, but the town looks like being in decline, especially at night.

En sneg at sove i. Pris for høj i forhold til standarden på hotellet.
Cons:

Morgenmaden var helt under niveau for et hotel.
Stedet trænger til renovering. Valgte at spise i byen i stedet for restauranten det tror vi var et godt valg.
