Our family of 5 were allowed in a room together - this isn't always the case with a 'family' room so we were thrilled (the things that make us parents happy!). We had a room with a double bed and a twin bed, and two portable twins were brought in. It was tight, but not uncomfortable, and we just sat on the beds when we were in the room. The beds and pillows were all comfortable.

Our room was clean and in good repair. Bathroom was mold free and the grout was clean, there was no dust on the window casings and the drapes were clean. This is a big contrast to another hotel in this chain we stayed in last year. Carpet in our room and the hall needs to be replaced though.

The pool and gym area are quite nice. The locker rooms are in great shape with shower curtains on the shower stalls in the ladies locker room (usually I don't find that here in Ireland). Hair dryers were there to use, and the lockers use a 2euro coin that is returned when you return your key.

We ate dinner in the Wheat Bar. Food was fine. Huge portions, we wished we'd known that before we ordered. My husband ordered the Chicken Curry and it could have easily fed two people as it was made with at least two huge chicken breasts. The child's meal of sausage and chips gave us 3 large sausages, way more than a 4 year old could eat. I'm not complaining, just sharing the info in case readers are looking to share a meal. The food prices were silly--almost 18euro for a cheese burger with chips but only about 12 for fish and chips. We ate there anyway, paying for the convenience of not having to drive anywhere else, but I wouldn't eat there on a return trip. It was fine for the one night. Note: There is a KFC in the adjoining parking lot to the hotel as well as a big Supervalue grocery store for other food options.

Breakfast was included in our rate. It was sausages, rashers, potoatoes, tomatoes, powdered scrambled eggs (no thanks), puddings, choices of cereals, yogurt, fruit, toast and sweet buns. Juices, coffee that wasn't half bad and tea were options to drink. We all found something to eat, and the quality was fine.

We were happy with the choice of hotel. The staff were all friendly and seemed happy to be at work. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we were in the area and were able to get another great rate for the 5 of us with breakfast.

Travelled here as part of a large family group to bring in the New Year 2011/12 and stayed 2 nights. Room was large and comfortable but an unusual layout left little storage space. Leisure facilities were very good and staff were extremely helpful.
Hotel is located close to shops and a KFC for those wishing to snack outwith the hotel, and the town centre is only about 1 Km away.
The New Year Ball was very well run and it was no fault of the hotel that the band's lead singer had lost his voice. The live music was not as good as a result, but at least they still turned up. Th DJ livened things up after the bells and great night was had by all. The residents lounge remained opened all night and the staff were sympathetic with late checkouts.
All in all very good for this type of event.

A very nice hotel with very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the toilets in the main hotel were not very clean with stains under all the urinals
