The hotel was very clean and hospitable. There is beautiful Galway Bay and the promenade across the street. There is a lovely outdoor picnic area for warmer weather. The breakfast was delicious and suited to all tastes. We had a lovely dinner in the pub with friends as well! We highly recommend this hotel.

Best service ever. The staff was courteous conscientious kind helpful above and beyond the call of duty.Extra large room to spread out and enjoy ocean view. Most incredible Olympic size swimming pool for laps, another pool for fun, a baby pool, and the biggest hot tub which turned out to be the right size.

James

Unbelievably noisy! There was a wedding party in the hotel for the one night we stayed. We could hear every song they blasted out of their speakers from the moment we entered the room (about 10:30 pm) until about 2:15 a.m. I called to complain about the racket they were making three times - at 11:00 pm, at about 12:15 am, and then again at 2:10 am (to ask why it had not stopped at 2:00 am). I complained to the manager the next morning. He said that there was nothing that they could or would do. I asked him why they gave us rooms that were not sound-proofed near the wedding music. He said that they were not as close to the wedding music as I thought (we were on the second floor; wedding was on ground floor). I could not believe he was telling me that there were possibly rooms closer again to the wedding music! Neither of us could sleep. I will never stay in this hotel again. Never. Do not on your life stay in this hotel if there is a wedding; you will know the entire playlist of the wedding band/DJ if you do, every note. I have stayed in many hotels in many parts of the world; this was the worst for noise *ever*.

Our room was spacious, but quite dated. The mattress was terrible. There was no coffee in the room. Breakfast wasn't great. On our last morning, the fire alarm went off at 6:30AM and we had to evacuate. There was not a single staff member available to provide direction or communication about where we should go, what happened, etc. This is a major safety concern.
