A gem of relaxation in Douglas

This is a fabulous resort and is run like clockwork. Friendly, personable and attentive staff are there to help as required. The food is very good in the dining room and bar. Spa facilities are really something.

We stayed in a Junior Suite which was fabulous. You’d want to be fit for the stairs but if you are it’s well worth it to stay in the old part of the hotel. Restaurant was fabulous too as was the bar food and friendly staff. Thermal suite was great

We really enjoyed our stay at the Maryborough Hotel. Staff were so friendly and breakfast had an amazing selection. The room was clean and very comfortable. There was a slight issue with the shower mat which was actually slippery and would have been safer without. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and we had a relaxing stay before our onward journey.

Beautiful and old fashioned

This is definitely a beautiful hotel. Staff is very friendly and down to earth, great welcoming when checking in. I forgot my tablet when checking out and it was easy and convenient to pick it back up after work. They were very tentative and reached out to me quickly in this matter. Rooms are old fashioned, but very nice and the beds are comfortable and you sleep great in them.

It was 'fine'.............

The hotel is on some very nice stately grounds with a very nice Spa facility attached. The Bedroom I have to say was not great. The bath / shower area was awful with it almost impossible to stop the water going everywhere. Lighting really poor / bedding poor / temperature regulation poor and floors which seemed like freshly polished were lethal! Breakfast / dinner was good and grounds were lovely, but could do with some money being spent on the rooms.

Too Quiet and Too Outdated

We stayed one night here after arriving from Dublin. The room given was a spa room and it is old fashioned and outdated. It was far from any photos that was shown when I booked the room. Breakfast was thankfully a better one compared to the room we had. Located in the residential area and therefore is a quiet place away from the traffic noise. Did not take photos because we do not need any reminders of the room given to us that was supposedly going for renovations soon. Being a Gold member I was also not offered any room upgrade.

We were pretty excited based on the pictures. Parking was easy and check-in quick. All was good up until we got to our room. The mattress was horrible, there were only two outlets that worked and they are tucked inside a cubbie. The bathroom was the worst. You have to be a very flexible person to get into the shower which was very hard for my 79 year old mother. Barely any lighting in the bathroom. Just a very awkward room especially for a 4 star hotel. Food was okay but overpriced for the quality.

Excellent hotel. The staff was a amazing, the ladies only pool and spa area was THE BEST! Our only issue was the instant coffee in the rooms. That was super disappointing but we know to be prepared for the possibility of it for the last 1/2 of our trip! It sure didnt wreck our stay since the hotel is super fancy and really amazing though!

Probably a good choice for a wedding or business conference venue, this was a poor choice for us as tourists as it is out from town in a residential area. While the rooms were large and staff helpful, I was disappointed that they did not have coffee in the rooms or in the lobby before 8am on weekends. A erroneous fire alarm repeated three times during one night of our stay between 2 and 3am was also disappointing without apology or explanation.

This is the only hotel room I've ever stayed in that had a bath tub in the sitting area. The walk from the reception area to our room was convoluted and required going up and down stairs, amd passing through multiple doors. The spa was ok, but like the rest of the facility, maintenence was lacking.
