What guests think

Across reviews, McWilliam Park Hotel stands out for friendly, efficient staff and comfortable, often spacious rooms, though some guests experienced noise, dated elements, and lack of air conditioning, with location convenient for Knock, airport access, and local amenities.

Leisure facilities and the pool are appreciated but can be cold, under repair, or partially closed, while parking is plentiful, including disabled spaces. Cleanliness is generally good but inconsistent, with several reports of unclean bathrooms or missed replenishment. Breakfasts and dinners draw plenty of praise, yet others noted delays, items running out, average menus, bar service lapses, or temporary bar renovations affecting ambience. Those who value convenience over polish are likely to be satisfied.

The temperature of the pool was too cold as was the sauna. There was no body wash in the showers which you would expect in a 4 star hotel. Also the showers were cold in the evening but they were hot in the morning. We didn't have a good breakfast experience either. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table as it was very busy. However all the fruit was gone.and the bread and fruit juice. When our breakfasts eventually arrived some items were missing. Disappoiywith this supposedly 4 star hotel.

This hotel has loads of potential but unfortunately the hygiene of it isn’t up to standards .I recently stayed here and when I checked into my room , the toilet hadn’t been cleaned and there was used toilet roll left on the floor along with dirty towels and an empty can of alcohol left by the sink.I told reception about it who were lovely and extremely apologetic and upgraded me to another room .However this wasn’t much better , the remote control and telephone in the room were filthy, the bed side locker had stains on it , the carpet had stains, the spoons left for tea/coffee were dirty and water was left in the kettle from the previous guest. These are simple basic things that should be cleaned in all rooms on a regular basis.The hotel would be lovely if the upkeep of it was maintained and the rooms were cleaned properly. As a result , I don’t think I would be inclined to stay here again.

Nice hotel with plenty of shops and pubs etc in walking distance. Staff were all polite and helpful. Large free car park and easy access to main roads. There was no in room fridge which would have been helpful. The only negative was the room service. The towels were swapped but not much else. Toilet roll and coffee not replaced. Used glasses left and not replaced, surfaces not wiped clean. On the whole an enjoyable stay and I would recommend.

The room was a good size, clean, comfortable and pretty modern. The breakfast was good and not expensive. The staff were friendly, prompt etc. - all good there. Our room was round the back, with a great view of a full skip. It also backed onto the function room. There was a wedding on and there was (understandably) a lot of noise. We had to leave the window closed which wasn’t ideal. Early a.m. there were deliveries etc - unavoidable I suppose but woke us about 5:30am. Leisure facilities - we used the pool, hot tub and steam room. It’s decent enough but all needs an refresh. Changing facilities just ok. No more. We went to bar for a snack and one drink after the pool. Quite a few people in relaxing quietly. There was a group of what I’d say were traveller folk making a lot of noise - hard drinking, taking the place over and being a nuisance - very hard to relax. Something should have been said to them by management - people were trying to eat and relax over a couple of drinks - but nothing was said - in fact I don’t think there was too much management in evidence - possibly keeping the head down. Another note. There are permanent residents at the hotel - they keep a low profile and all seems fine. But just noting it.

Another large-ish, and quite standard Irish hotel, of which there are many scattered around the country. As far as the room decor is concerned, this one is a cut above, with a stylish and spacious layout, well maintained. Recommended if you're flying out of Knock in the early hours. Unfortunately suffers from IHMS (Irish Hotel Menu Syndrome). Very standard menu choices, and very average food, cooked (or should I say prepared) with very little flair. You may see this a lot in my reviews, as I'm in Ireland usually a couple of times a month. Just do something a little different, with a little flair. Cook on site and don't buy in desserts, please.

Amenities within the hotel very good however room felt dated (Room 15) - Arrived to lack of a single bed which was quickly resolved by the staff. Major problem with our stay was due to noise from corridors and a-joining rooms disturbing our sleep - group of teenagers who were happy to roam the corridors and knock on doors disturbing everybody was not dealt with by hotel team even though corridor was adjacent to reception. Felt like a date yet expensive Travelodge.

When I arrived, the television did not work it took a little bit for the manager to come to figure it out and when I was leaving it still didn't work it only worked for a short period of time. Also, I was supposed to have breakfast at 7 AM today I was checking out and I got down at 7:12 and they weren't set up yet. . Hotel it was all bit noisy with all the children. They have people staying there that are not official guest, which makes it a little bit challenging. The fitness center is great, but it's also open to the public keep in mind the room they gave me was facing the street. It was Not noisy, the beds were comfortable room was clean staff at the front desk were helpful and at the restaurant even more on top of it. Very convenient location and easy Parking . Also, you could walk everywhere. I want to check in and leave the car back at the hotel.
