Friendly, helpful staff. Good location. Excellent room service, good food arrived quickly. room was big, well decorated and clean. Very good beds,nice bedrom decor, free parking, lots of areas to meet with people. were not friendly only time staff spoke was checking in and checking out. The rooms and choice of bars/restaurants were excellent. The rooms were quite spacious. Location. Good location,. location. The rooms at the front of the hotel were a little noisy with traffic from the main road, but you get used to it.the car park was 2 far from hotel. elevator is slow (zzz zzz zzz). The car park is a little incovenient as it is a 5-10 min walk away across the river lee. a bit noisy outside at night as window would not close properly. First room we were offered required re-furbishment. The fact that you had to book to use the spa pool was not clearly pointed out upon check in, meaning we missed out on going. A mini bar would have been nice!. Bathroom door didn't close and there was no ceiling light in the bedroom, just a hole!. Room at side street was a little noisey. The room was very cold and the heating didn't seem to come on at all. no gym. There was a wedding on the Saturday eve we stayed and even though we were on the third floor we could hear the words of the songs- it finally finished at 2am. Could not get any snack other than sandwiches...wanted some cake biscuits after 10pm. The room I stayed in was very noisy. There was noise late at night and there were barrels being rolled past the bedroom window at 5.30am. I did complain to the staff. My non-smoking room was stinking of smoke masked with air freshner. When we were eventually moved the fans to the kitchen were outside our window.Small room at the front of the hotel, noisy at night. No air con so had to keep window open. nowhere to place anything in the bathrooms i.e. no shelf space. many of the staff appeared to be learning on the job. the fact that we had to pay extra for the avieda spa and that not even a continenetal breakfast in the price. Breakfast delivered to the room in error. When reception was contacted -hotel took the food away... We were assuming this would have been dumpedand not reserved -... so would have been a nice touch to be told to keepit. Also towels were not replaced with asked...pay parking, no breakfast included in price. car parking, room, price.
