Large family run hotel near a business park in Claregalway (about 20 minutes drive to Galway). Property seems to be undergoing renovations. We had a very large family room for our 3 night stay but found the absence of a fridge strange given obvious recent upgrades to otherwise good standard. The bathroom was also unusual with a heavy fire door and an older shower in bath set up. Carpet in room wasn’t vacuumed during our stay. There is a health club on site (pool/ gym etc) available to guests which is a good inclusion. Parking on site was also good.

The telephone wasn’t working in our room. We requested toiletries / etc. when my husband looked behind the bed. The reason the phone wasn’t working as there were live wires. Not good enough. The facilities didn’t come to our room that day and we left the next day. I hope they fixed the problem with the phone.
