My daughter and I stayed hererecently after a family day out in Bunratty Castle. Check-in was quick and easy and we got an upgrade to a quiet side of the hotel. All staff we met were friendly, chirpy and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was unreal. I had the sea bass and my daughter had a kids portion of the Thai red curry. Both were lovely. We slept very well and didn't hear a thing all night. The room we had was okay, a few minor issues with cleanliness, scuff marks on the walls, dirt on lightswitch fixture, carpet in need of a clean, bedside tables had drink spills on them. The shower in the bathroom was nice and powerful, plenty of hot water. The room itself was easily managed heat wise. Overall I would recommend this place to friends and family again.
