Parking is just down the road by the river - free between 6pm and 9am. Receptionist were great, very personable. Would recommend, met our expectations for what we paid
Glenn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not very kind
I didn’t have the best experience of hospitality overall. Receptionists in particular were cold, bordering on rude. Check-in felt like an interrogation; when I called to say the Wi-Fi was down I was told that “no one else has complained”, and on day of departure I got a stern call telling me check out was at 11 and it was 11:10. (I thought it was at twelve- like most hotels I’ve been to in Ireland, and I’m traveling with a 2 year old as a single mom. Hotel was definitely not full. There was really no need to hurry us except for a sense of what? Authority?) I did have an exceptionally good experience with another member of staff- I think a gentleman who worked in the restaurant- who helped me on two occasions with my daughter’s stroller/buggy. That was a highlight, and in contradiction with the near rudeness of the ladies at reception. I’ve been traveling through Ireland for four weeks and this was my worse experience so far.

Family occasion
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we didn’t do the breakfast as we thought it was a bit pricey. The bathroom was very clean and had lovely toiletries provided. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were so helpful and friendly, the entire property is will maintained and stylish furnishings. Rooms are comfortable and clean, bathrooms clean. Shower lacks water pressure but found this in most places. The breakfast was the tastiest we have had on our four week journey across the UK so far. Donegal itself is a beautiful place. Highly recommend this place and town.
