From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was impressed by the fantastic staff, superb location, delicious food, and cozy room. The room was lovely, complete with a variety of coffee selections, complimentary water and WiFi, as well as pleasantly scented shampoo and body wash. However, there was a bit of construction noise early in the morning, which was a minor inconvenience.

From the minute I walked in the door, I was greeted by fantastic staff in a super location. The room was lovely and comfortable, with no expenses spared on the duck down duvets and outstanding mattresses. However, the fact that the location is not a proper restaurant takes away from the experience a bit.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and well-decorated, although a bedside table and reading light on both sides of the double bed would have been convenient. The Nespresso coffee maker was a nice touch, making my mornings more enjoyable. The price was fair for what was offered, but some small room additions could enhance the value.

The service was top-notch; the staff were very attentive, professional, and friendly throughout my stay. However, one staff member seemed a bit uptight during check-out, which may have been just a one-off incident. From room service to housekeeping, they were all efficient and welcoming.

Location

The hotel's location was fantastic, with great views of the River Shannon despite needing a deep clean in some areas. It was convenient, but a bit noisy at times, especially when the door to the patio was left open. However, being close to water activities and having a real fire in the reception area added character to the place.

Dining at the hotel was a highlight of my stay. The food was delicious, especially the duck salad and duck taco. Both dinner and breakfast were memorable experiences, with fresh yogurt and fruit smoothies setting the tone. However, portions were generous, leading to some wastage.

The hotel offered great facilities, though there were some cleanliness issues in certain areas. The style and decor of the hotel added charm, but there were a few areas that could benefit from additional maintenance. Despite this, the facilities were enjoyable and convenient.
