Lovely hotel, seemed to cater for everyone, from couples on a short stay to wedding parties. Very comfortable hotel in a very convenient location for Ennis town centre and the surrounding area. Nice entrance and reception, nice lounges and bar and the breakfast was huge and sets you up for the day. Free parking directly outside. Would recommend and will return.

Nice hotel

Very friendly staff. We arrived early morning after an overnight flight. They were kind enough to find an available room and let us check-in by 9:30 for a much needed nap. Comfortable rooms, great location. Only downside is that the bathtubs are high sided making it a bit tricky to get in and out of for a shower.

Temple gate is a very nice hotel offering a variety of dining choices with something in most price ranges. Breakfast is fine, but choices are limited for non-egg eaters. The staff are helpful and attentive. A special shoutout to Lee one of the managers and to Jack in the bar. Delightful fellows and understand service. The hotel is truly in the center of town and makes it very convenient to walk everywhere. It is literally next to the Clare Museum. Parking was ample and close to the hotel. The room and beds were comfortable and large enough for two friends to share on holiday. Enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend.
