The staff at check in was extremely helpful and friendly. The waitstaff at the restaurant however were not very attentive on slow. I am unsure if this was because they were new or just slow. The room was clean and comfortable. Was also an easy commute to the main town and shopping.

Wonderful stay. Lisa at Reception was exceptional! She went above and beyond her duties. Shelia was also was very helpful! Bar and restaurant were great. The food in the restaurant was top notch and Celiac friendly! King size Bed was firm and we had plenty of pillows for comfort. Housekeeping kept our room stocked with coffee/tea and water everyday. There is a kettle in the room. We were on the 3rd floor, B-Wing and found it to be quiet. Hotel was a mile from Erye Square, which for us, was walking distance. Close by convenience stores and bus stops. Bus to Shannon airport was a 10 minute walk, not bad at all. Also, there are restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. The indoor pool looked inviting, we just did not have the time to enjoy it. (Water/Swim caps are mandatory and can be purchased at the front desk.) Only complaint: went to use the gym and the staff were a tad rude so we chose not to return.
