Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay! The hotel is in a perfect location, just a few minutes' stroll away from the beach. The rooms were cozy and clean, though a bit warm due to their proximity to reception. The service was top-notch, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience, while delicious, lacked a cheese assortment I would have enjoyed. Overall, a fantastic spot I'll definitely return to!
On my stay at the hotel, I found it to be a lovely place to sit and relax, especially due to its quiet and clean rooms. However, the rooms could do with an update. The service was very helpful and polite but seemed to serve others quicker than those following procedures. The location was great for accessing tourist attractions in scenic west Clare, although it was at the very end of the corridor. The dining was excellent, offering a great choice of food, but the fish and chips were a highlight. Overall, a mixed experience but worth the stay.
The hotel has a great location right by the ocean overlooking Spanish Point, offering a relaxed atmosphere. The rooms, while cozy, could benefit from modernization. The service was exceptional, making us feel comfortable and welcomed. The dining experience was tasty overall, despite the poor coffee. A refreshing stay overall with a few areas for improvement.
The hotel room was quite disappointing as it got stuffy in the middle of the night, making it hard to sleep with the extreme heat. There was a disruptive incident in the early hours, creating a noisy and uncomfortable environment. The rooms felt small and claustrophobic, affecting the overall stay negatively. Despite these, the service was exceptional with a seamless room change and a customized no-salt meal. The location was great for a laid-back experience but would not entice a return visit. The dining experience lacked in ambiance due to poor positioning and breakfast quality issues.
The room I stayed in was small and the bed was not the most comfortable. However, it had a nice view of the car park. The service was outstanding, with the staff being friendly and more than helpful. The location was great and very good value for money, right by the ocean. The dining experience was not the best, a bit cold, but with lovely options in the morning. The facilities were good overall.
Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were comfortable and very clean, although the location at the back of the hotel meant no view. The service provided was friendly and helpful, with staff wearing visors for safety. The position of the hotel allowed easy access to various tourist attractions and offered a lovely beach within walking distance. The dining experience was good with a great choice of food. The facilities were well-maintained and added to my enjoyment of the stay.
