Break
Pros:

Grear location overlooking bay

Cons:

Tired. Geared up for elderly coach tours. Breakfast poor quality sausages and bacon. Poor variety of menu choice for 4* hotel. Same with dinner menu only 3 choices of main. Menu stated lamb. Pork was served no apology or drinks taken off bill would expect more from 4*. Staff appear to be very inexperienced. Bathroom new but very poor water pressure in shower forget the waterfall shower heads just put on power showers needs loo roll holder. Needs hotel quality pillows
Bundoran tired lots of empty shop units
Go to maddens for food excellant seafood good atmosphere what should be provided at 4* hotel
