Clean and comfy room! Breakfast was amazing! Gym was great, but be aware its used by locals and they weren't super welcoming. The pool/spa area was crawling with loud kids (again locals use this as a leisure club too), so we avoided that.

A well located hotel, in close proximity to the town, with ample free parking. Our dinner was of a good standard. Food arrived quickly and was piping hot. The rooms are spacious, with adequate storage, and a decent sized shower/toilet. We found everything to be clean and our bed was comfortable. All good so far. The disappointment is the breakfast. The food itself wasn't too bad, our complaint is regarding the service and the system. Firstly, they do sittings. Now that's new to me, I've never had to book a half hour window for breakfast. Initially I wondered if this might ehance our experience, assuming it meant the restaurant would be prepared for the numbers. Therefore the food stations would be fully stocked and there would be sufficient servers to make our dining experience positive. Not so. When you arrive at your designated time you are pretty much ignored as the staff continue to clear tables, and reset for what looks to be for lunch. Eventually someone shows you to a table. On both mornings we were chaperoned to a table that wasn't reset for breakfast. So we'd no menu. One cup but 2 guests. No butter or milk. The food stations were not replenished, no pancakes nor brown bread, no croissants or yogurt, no cereal bowls. The fruit salad consisted only of apple. There were no side plates, and no-one came to take a tea/ coffee or toast order. We had to go ask. Your system doesn’t works guys. We've had better in fast food outlets.

The property is extremely old looking and run down. You were next to a mixed looking neighborhood. The front desk staff were pleasant but I would NOT recommend staying here. We needed a hotel between Trim Castle and Rock of Cahir, after a long day and this was the \"best\" I could find. I would not go back and wouldn't recommend it even for just an overnight.

This is a lovely hotel. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The rooms are generous with comfortable beds, good bathrooms and my favourite toiletries. The food is very good: breakfast has lots of hot and cold options with tea and coffee. If you want a latte or cappuccino then the small cafe in the foyer has them with an excellent selection of cakes and pastries. The only thing I would have changed was the toilet tissue in the room, a little thin for me and not as good as that in the public areas. Otherwise I can highly recommend this hotel for your stay.

When we booked the property it was mainly because there was a pool, spa and sauna listed on the facilities. When we arrived, it’s actually simply a public leisure centre attached to the hotel which guests can use. There were over 50 kids having swimming lessons and it was unbearably noisy. Couldn’t use the facilities. The staff were nice but I definitely wouldn’t stay again

Seating and tables in the bar/restaurant were in terrible condition. Bar area was cold due to air con.
We were asked at reception what time we would like to have breakfast the next morning. Having stated our preferred time we arrived at the dining room where no tables were available. Overspill of guests were accommodated in the bar area but no tables set with cutlery or condiments. Hotel unfortunately was let down by tired furnishings.😞 Needs updated.

We stayed here on our last day in Ireland. We'd already spent time in Dublin and we're coming in from Killarney. This hotel was very reasonably priced $150 or so Euros, and was recently renovated, with a nice pool and Spa.

We picked it b/c it had good reviews and was a short drive to Dublin Airport.

The facilities were nice, people friendly. They had some sort of autorally race event when we were there, so we saw some cool cars.

Took a taxi downtown, it was a bank holiday so it was pretty crowded. Went to a few bars and saw some live music. (Not folk , but foo fighters cover band).

So in all, great value, close to airport (30 min drive) and fun town.
