Too focused on catering events
Too many events scheduled during this time. Although hotel did inform us of this, since my booking was non refundable I felt that I didn’t have much option to stay elsewhere. Had to wait for our rooms to be ready while the locals were given their rooms without any wait. Kids were running up and down the hall banging on doors. Music was playing loudly into the wee hours of the morning.

Great spot
What a wonderful asset Lucy is. I couldn't have had a warmer welcome, although I am not sure she believed me when I said I wouldn't need the late access key fob. A wealth of information given, and help offered. Thank you

6/10 Good

The main reason for my lower rating is that the sheets were dirty (dirt and hair in them), and when we called down to the night porter he didn't offer to change them and wasn't very apologetic. He did provide clean sheets and we changed them ourselves. In the morning the staff was lovely though, and otherwise a clean room.

Amazing Customer Service
My stay was a normal. We were traveling around Ireland. What happened after the stay was amazing. I left my iPad in the room and we were down in Galway. The folks at the hotel found my iPad and helped get it shipped to my upcoming hotel in Dublin. Amazing and the best customer service I have ever had when staying in at a hotel. Period. Thank you for your help.
