Nice location for the airport. Restaurant, outside patio, and bar were nice. Had 3 rooms, 5 adults dined and drank at property. The "chef" however refused to substitute onion rings at dinner for the chips/fries without upcharge. Very unappreciative of our staying there.

We chose this hotel for the sole purpose of it being close to the airport, but it was actually a very nice, clean, modern hotel. Having the restaurant and pub on the main floor was great, and the food and drinks were excellent.

Just got back from a 4 night stay, really convenient to travel to from airport, lovely, clean and spacious hotel, staff are friendly, room was good, comfy bed, clean and also spacious, had food couple times in the restaurant and pub, in which both times were tasty and filling. Breakfast was great. Stayed here and travelled to Galway, cliffs of Moher and the coastline and Bunratty, all easy to travel to with use of a hire car. Would recommend and stay again :)

Séjour agréable dans un hôtel très confortable avec une très jolie chambre et SDB spacieuses. La poire de douche ne fonctionnait pas dans notre chambre et la cuve des WC ne se remplissait pas dans la chambre de nos amis mais ces dysfonctionnements ont été signalés à l’hôtel qui s’est excusé pour ces dysfonctionnements. La vue de notre chambre n’était pas super non plus. Néanmoins, malgré ces aléas, je recommande cet établissement.

Small room and as basic as can be for $250 euro a night. Hardly any coffee in the room for the morning, and the attached restaurant/pub has garbage waiting service. Standing around looking at us while drinks are empty and food was pretyy bad. Maybe would have given a better rating if it was $100 euro a night, but for $250 euro its a complete joke. Highly recommend staying somewhere else for that price.

Just stayed one night between flights but was very comfortable and quiet. The only con was the service at the pub. Waited for over half an hour for someone to take our food order and finally had to order ourselves at the bar. Then they forgot one desert and a drink on our order. But otherwise the food was good at the breakfast buffet.

This was a two night stay and conveniently located to Bunratty Folk Village and Castle. The room was an average size and comfortable. It was a bit warm when we checked in so I asked for a fan and was surprised to learn the hotel had air conditioning, which was a nice surprise. The staff were friendly but not as personable as when staying in the smaller villages around Ireland. The only hiccups with our stay is that this hotel is used for tour groups and that can be a bit hectic if you are trying to leave the hotel when a bus arrives. Also, the fire alarm went off on the first night we were there. Some guests were outside and others just ignored it. When I asked about it as it was still going off (I came out to the lobby in my pj's), I was told it was not working properly and waved off. I finally went back to my room. Nothing was said about it the next day, and I found that strange. Overall, this was a nice and convenient place to stay. The breakfast was okay, not much of a selection, but it is likely I got there after the tour group had been through.

I love the lodge, I've stayed here quite a few times. Lovely friendly staff. A big let down during our stay was breakfast. We were told we could sit anywhere and there was loads of room but not a clean table could be found. The breakfast which my Dad had he said it wasn't great and the tomatoes tasted sour. I went with the cold breakfast option all that was there was bread, cereal juice and the milk was warm. With the price of the room and breakfast being included i would of expected better for breakfast.
