"Very nice and spacious hotel with great staff, unfortunately a little bit out of the way from Dublin and the room didn't include a fridge which made it a bit difficult to store food for our baby. Apart from that it was a lovely stay."

8/10 Good
"* Staff were friendly. * The room and facilities were clean. Beds were comfortable. * The food at the restaurant was delicious. Wait staff were delightful. We were confused at check in about having to reserve (full/hot) breakfast the night before. You can still order it in the a.m. at a slightly higher rate. I am sure it is a way for the hotel to have adequate supplies. * Parking garage nice addition. * Enjoyed the pool. * We didn't use the spa, but it looked nice. * Our only issues were: 1. Noise from bar goers outside late into the night. 2. No fans or air conditioning, so needed to open windows to cool room, see no. 1. 3. Hotel is popular with tours coming off the ferry, which can come in late at night, see No. 1 and 2. If you are booking for a Friday or Saturday night in the Summer, ask for a room away from the front of the building."
