I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was nicely decorated with amenities, but it wasn't ready when I arrived, and the interaction with housekeeping was unpleasant. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent. The location was charming, offering easy access to various attractions, but there were some minor issues in the room. The dining experience had its ups and downs. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and the double and single beds were very comfy, but the heating issues on the floor made it freezing. The road noise at night was a real downside even with double glazed windows. The service was professional overall, although there was some pressure for us to finish our evening on a Saturday night. The location was in a quiet area, which was great for traveling around Galway and Clare, and the staff were friendly and sensitive to personal requirements. The dining experience was fairly basic with limited options, and the food was nothing special. However, the hotel sits right on the edge of the Burren in County Clare, which was a beautiful setting.

The rooms are impeccably clean with a large bed, but some may find the shower operation a little inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although needing a refurbishment, was spacious and comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite some staff appearing untrained. The location was great for exploring the Burren region, but lacked dining options in the village. The dining experience was good quality, but with some room for improvement. Overall, a reasonable stay with some great highlights and a few drawbacks.
