My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, although a little dated, were surprisingly quiet, with a lovely view over the river on two sides. However, I did encounter an issue with the key card not working initially, which was a hassle to resolve at reception with all my bags. The service had its ups and downs, with some standout friendly staff but also a cheeky young person with a bad attitude. The location was beautiful, being right on the river, although I did notice some cleanliness issues with bits of foam on the ground on consecutive days. The dining experience was satisfactory but not exceptional, and the facilities offered everything I needed.
The hotel had some positives like efficient service and excellent breakfast but was marred by noisy guests and room not ready on time. Despite the cool weather, the room felt like a sauna at times.
I was intrigued by the hotel's central location in town surrounded by great bars and restaurants within walking distance. However, the room I was given, despite requesting a change, faced a noisy generator and seemed to be above the bar's band. The service, on the other hand, was pleasant and efficient. The facilities were satisfactory, but the dining experience fell short, with a delayed order and an organized event interrupting the stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences and some setbacks. The rooms were excellent despite being above a function room with loud music, but they were uncomfortably warm. The service was top-notch, with staff who were welcoming, efficient, and cheerful, though some noise could be heard at night. The location was superb, offering beautiful views of the Shannon River and a special gluten-free breakfast option. The dining experience was nice, but the breakfast service could have been more accommodating. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor issues to consider.
