Good selection for breakfast but my kids not so happy that both mornings the pancake machine was out of order.

Greeted with a warm welcome. The staff are lovely ,leisure and spa facilities are excellent very relaxing,the room was big and clean and had complementary water and products, but was a little cold ,fine once I was in the bed . The girl at checkout was so helpful and informative , should probably of just asked for the heating to be turned on or up .

Average hotel at best. Definitely not a 4 star as rated. Repairs needed to round seating area at front, skirting in breakfast dining room needing replaced vadly and flaking paint in room. On hotels. com receipt, stated check-in was 3pm but told when we got to hotel it was 4pm and our room was not ready. Staff friendly enough.

Freezing cold rooms, rude front desk staff at check in “you didn’t even book direct” (I guess having hotels .com status means nothing) TV did not work, not at all clean enough. Room service left in hallway 24+ hours. Not worth the price point. But you don’t have many other options in Monaghan.
