Not A bad hotel, would be closer to a travel lodge standards, certainly not 4 star. Bed was adequate, bathroom very tired but functional, doors locked etc. expensive for what it is.
The additional restaurant has an average food offering, very corporate type menu. All in all a standard 3 star over night hotel but at 4 star pricing.

Do not stay here. There are other options in the center of town in Galway.

This hotel SMELLS of mildew and the room smelled of smoke. The dirty carpet and unkept bathroom was enough to almost make us leave if it wasn't for the only night we were there for.

There is a rowdy bar / restaurant downstairs with people drunkenly leaving at all times of the day.

Parking area is behind the hotel and only open entrances were the main door into what looks like a very outdated lobby and overall location.

When we checked out and told the staff of our stay they shrugged it off and said we were only there for one night so why bother...crazy.

Large family run hotel near a business park in Claregalway (about 20 minutes drive to Galway). Property seems to be undergoing renovations. We had a very large family room for our 3 night stay but found the absence of a fridge strange given obvious recent upgrades to otherwise good standard. The bathroom was also unusual with a heavy fire door and an older shower in bath set up. Carpet in room wasn’t vacuumed during our stay. There is a health club on site (pool/ gym etc) available to guests which is a good inclusion. Parking on site was also good.

This was the most disappointing stay of our trip. The breakfast and staff were great, reception and room service staff were also great.
Our first night we had dinner at the restaurant upon arrival and our waiter did not bring my drink order, I had to ask another staff member who brought my meal. When he packed my kids pizza that was left over it was thrown into the box, my husband commented about it and fixed it up.
The pool area is not exclusive to guests. This was the only hotel we stayed at that had a pool and my kids were excited about it. There is a hot tub and sauna area that is off limits to anyone under 18. The sign is posted on the wall behind the hot tub beginning with -18. I thought this was a temperature reading at first (from Canada here) and then when I made sense of the poorly written sign it means under 18 years of age. My kids like hot tubs, at other hotels we have been to they can use them and when I asked them to get out they couldn’t understand why. As I was asking them to get out the staff member from the desk came in and made a huge scene about how they can’t be there, I am responsible for them, and they are not insured to be there (I insure my own children when I travel). Even though I let him know that I was asking them to get out he continued yelling at me, it was very embarrassing and completely ruined the whole stay for me. I can understand having a tone like that with someone if you’ve had to ask more than once. I immediately left with my kids.

Not a great stay in Claregalway.

Room was very nice to start, we were staying two nights. Myself and my young son woke up the following morning and i noticed spots/lumps on my legs and then on my body. I checked my bed and my sons bed and I found bed bugs in both beds.
I immediately reported it to reception and asked for a manager to be told there was none available but the girls on reception would sort it out and ring me later. We had to go to the nearest pharmacy to get antihistamines and ointment.
We were then upgraded to a different room for the second night and given a refund for only one night.

Fairly standard hotel, no real complaints. It's pretty big, and the soundproofing isn't great so we could hear people in the corridor and opening and closing doors to other rooms.

Bathroom and shower were decent (shower in bath rather than separate), bed was large and comfy. The room had AC which wasn't the case for everywhere else we stayed on our Ireland trip. The car park was big enough so we didn't struggle to park. There were a few shops in walking distance, but I imagine most people would choose this location for it's proximity to Galway and the coast.

We only spoke to a few members of staff and didn't eat at the restaurant, but they all seemed polite and friendly enough. We went to the bar one night and there was some live music which was nice, and there was a good selection of drinks at a probably average price compared with the surrounding area and Galway.

Considering it’s a 4 star hotel I thought the cleanliness and general condition/ upkeep of the hotel was poor. Hairs on the towels in the bathroom. No atmosphere in the reception,there should be background music playing to make it more inviting. Checked it at 9.50pm on the night of arrival and asked if it was possible to get a toasted ham and cheese sandwich and was told the kitchen was closed. My first ever experience staying at a hotel where I couldn’t get food. Disappointed with our stay as it wasn’t cheap.

The toilet seat cover kept on closing on its own and did not go all the way up. Another little
thing, but should have been mentioned-the lights work only with a room key put into a slot. Strange that the receptionist did not tell us that when checking in. We liked that this hotel was a little outside of Galway City and enjoyed our stay.

Loved this hotel! It was smaller, which made check in and parking super easy. Our hotel room was exceptional, clean and spacious. The bar/restaurant connected was slightly below average. My wife ordered a wine & the wine glass had bright lip stick imprints all over the top of the rim. When we mentioned it to the bartender, he poured the glass in a new (clean) one. The bartender had a difficult time making a mixed drink on their menu and had the attitude that he didn’t want to be there, or didn’t want us there. We had a single drink & avoided ordering any food or anything else.
