Reviews and Ratings
The Princess Grace Suite was lovely, the bed was great, and one staff member significantly enhanced my experience at this property. It was located near where barrels are kept, adding to its charm. However, some aspects may need improvement.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were stylish, spacious, and spotless with a very comfy bed. However, the bathroom could use a little updating. The service was approachable, professional, and helpful, especially when I needed an early morning taxi. The location was ideal for my needs, close to the AIT college, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the dining experience was not up to standard, and the breakfast was overpriced. Overall, a beautiful hotel with great potential.
The lodge is a perfect venue for a memorable wedding. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a bit of darkness enhancing the atmosphere. The service was mostly good, with a slight hiccup regarding attention to detail. The location was welcoming and conveniently close to amenities. The dining experience was basic but sufficient for the stay. Overall, a positive experience with a touch of charm.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were large, warm, and comfortable, with even the bathroom floor being heated, but I noticed some dust around the grouting in the toilet. The service was excellent, very welcoming and professional, which was a nice touch after waiting for a year and a half to get away. The location was decent, within walking distance of the Shamrock, but the cigarette smoke smell near the entrance was a downside. The dining options were good, offering a variety of choices, yet I wished for more healthier alternatives. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor issues.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were pristine and cozy, with a king size bed and spotless bathroom. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly looked after. The location was ideal for my family trip, just a short walk to Athlone Centre. The dining experience was delightful, offering excellent value. Facilities were great, and overall, it was a fantastic experience.
The hotel is situated ideally for those holidaying around the Midlands, with extremely helpful and friendly owners, management, and staff. The rooms were spacious with a balcony, offering comfort and great blackout curtains. However, the room allocation was inconvenient for families with children. The dining experience was nice and tasty, although self-service options had been prepared for a while. The location is perfect with ample parking and well-kept grounds, but recent times seem to have affected some aspects.
