Great spot to spend the last night in Ireland before you have to go to the Dublin airport. Small village, but this hotel is connected to a bar and restaurant. We had a midmorning flight and left here at 630am and we got to airport in about 35 minutes. The food in the restaurant was excellent ask for a room in the back because the front is on the street and you can hear traffic until about 11 PM.

We had a traumatic experience during our stay. There were drunk people making ruckus all night, knocking the door at 2 am and 3 am, making weird sounds and calling themselves room service. We were just there for a night and had to catch our flight next morning. I was with my family and was scared. we left early so that we can have some peaceful time at the airport. Please avoid this property as much as possible.

Excellent location forNewgrange- clean and the welcome pack was appreciated.
However, there was no cold water in the wash basin though the shower was fine.
The Wi-Fi password did not work though we tried several times.
Sadly, we arrived at 18.20 to discover the kitchen was closing that night at 18.40 which would have been a rush and allowed no time to relax after a long journey.
We were told of another restaurant a few miles away but that had closed when we got there.
We ended up in Duleek having the worst chip supper we have ever experienced.
Such a shame!

Brilliant sized room to stay as a family with children. The “double beds” were definitely small doubles though, so we were quite “cosy”. Room was clean, had trouble working the windows, just a bit of tlc and grease needed I think, also the toilet refilling for all of eternity was very annoying when trying to sleep even though the door was shut hopefully this can be fixed asap. As I said great sized room, and clean. A lot of noise late a night and swearing from people leaving the pub below, was frustrating when trying to sleep, also people going back to their rooms next door, slamming doors and talking so loudly, that’s not really the hotels fault just inconsiderate people which we didn’t expect on a Wednesday night. Car park onsite made easy parking, and access to the hotel without going through the pub. Overall happy with our stay, we did a road trip with our children for 4 nights at 4 hotels, this was the most expensive stay and the noisiest unfortunately but as I say, that’s down to inconsiderate people but just to be aware. Would use again but would ask to be at the back of the hotel. Also great WiFi. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Good location but no “convenience shop” until you hit Drogheda town so get everything you require on the way :-)

B&B accommodated our late check in which was great. Room was nice and big and clean.

Small issue with toilet and sink, in that they leaked everytime you used them, making it almost impossible to use the bathroom. As we checked in late and left early, there was no staff on site to highlight or ask to change room.

Other than that, a nice stay, it was exactly what we needed for a place to sleep before heading onwards. Good price for what you get.

Nice restaurant and bar but room accommodations were poor. Had no hot water, even after complaining, up until the day before I left. No heat the entire stay, thankfully I am hot natured. If I could changed to a hotel I would have but due to the NFL game (which is what I was there for) everything was sold out. Cleaning service left clean towels on the floor because I was still in my room, thankfully I didn’t need them and they were still there when I checked out. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Everything was perfect at Dalys Inn. I believe the owner actually gave me my key. He was very sweet. But unfortunately, there must’ve been a some sort of game and the pub next-door was shooting off fireworks, partying, and very loud with a microphone until about 3:30 in the morning. It would’ve been perfect if we could’ve partied with them, but we had to get up at 3:30 and go to the airport on no sleep.

Honestly it wasn't that great a place to stay with a family. I had booked it going by the photos on the Expedia website believing it was family friendly.
We landed and the staff in the restaurant and bar staff just walked about aimlessly and looked to dilly dally. I assume it is because I wasn't a local.
The room had paint peeling and the carpet was rotten. The curtain pole was about to fall and sheets on the bed smelt musky.
My wife tried to get into the bar to see if anything could've been done to even move us but the crowd was out the door so we left in the car and drove about the roads for a while before coming back to the room.
I know their local team has just won a cup so expected some buzz about, but to have a member of staff say, good luck trying to sleep tonight cause it won't happen was very off putting. Then there were the locals letting off fireworks near my car and Daly's gas tank with no remorse. Needless to say me, my wife and daughter who is 9 didn't stay, didn't even sleep in the beds. We left about 2am and slept in our car at the apple greens ok route to Dublin airport.

If you were going on a hen party or stag do, then yes this would be ok, but as I said not for a family.

Fraudulent reservation for non-existent B&B

There was no stay. I had a reservation for 2 nights, rec'd numerous emails from hotels.com about it (including the one linking to this survey) only to get there and be told the B&B closed in Nov 2022 and there was no lodging to be had. They literally laughed when we walked in. I contacted hotels.com online, only to be told they couldn't help. I spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get lodging for that night (it was after 5pm when we arrived and were turned away). All the 'local' lodging was full.

The next night, when we had found a place to stay, I called hotels.com - spent over 1 3/4 hours being put on hold & transferred between people. The first person gave me a hard time for not contacting hotels.com right away, despite my fully explaining the situation - spent over 2o minutes harping on the fact I had checked in and was just now a day later calling the help desk. I again explained there was no check-in to be had and that I had contacted the help desk. I was put on a long hold, then told by 2 different people that I would be fully refunded which was followed by times by another long hold then being transferred again. The last person told me I'd have to contact my credit card company & the best they could do was a $100 coupon towards a future reservation - wouldn't even let me put it towards what was then a current reservation I had a few days later. I will NEVER do business with hotels.com again, and I will emphatically discourage others from doing so. This is FRAUD!

Surprisingly disappointing

Sorry to offer we were very disappointed with this accommodation. We are mature and seasoned B&B travelers and found Dalys Inn to be nothing but the bare basics. For the same price, we have had lavish rooms, hospitality and pleasantries. Here we found bare rooms, a sliver of a blanket, barking dog for hours and a green light in the ceiling that was far too bright for comfortable sleep. The bartender next door was pleasant enough and gave us our room keys, but there is no warm welcome here and far too pricey for what we did and did not get. Would recommend as a last resort only and I'm saddened to report it this way.
