Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is centrally located, very close to the lake and surrounded by restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious and modern, but the price could be more affordable. The friendly staff and traditional Irish pancakes at the restaurant are standout features while the lack of a Jacuzzi tub and the minimal facilities are downsides.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room with a Jacuzzi tub was simply fantastic, and the service was top-notch. The convenient location close to everything around made exploring the area a breeze. The dining experience with local and seasonal products was a true delight, but the facilities could use a bit of improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from the lake and surrounded by charming restaurants and shops. The rooms were incredibly cozy with the added luxury of a Jacuzzi tub, making relaxation effortless. The service was top-notch, attentive, and warm. The dining experience left a bit to be desired, as the iced and frozen coffee options were limited. The facilities were excellent, especially the well-kept pool area. The overall value for the money was exceptional.
