REALLY fantastic stay
hydra pool courteous personnel convenient access
I found the hydra pool outside AMAZING. Hotel personnel were courteous, a true asset. The hotel decor instilled a sense of calm. The color scheme was soothing. I was kinda surprised. I got a river room on the first floor. It allowed convenient access to the pool and spa.
I noticed slight wear in the corridors. Updating these areas would greatly enhance the overall experience.

professional level level equipment parking lot spacious shower far location limited fruit sugared water
The gym provided almost professional level fitness equipment. It had a great variety. there was also a large parking lot available, very convenient. the rooms were spacious and the shower area was quite large as well.
the location felt a bit too far from the city center! it seemed like at least a 40-minute walk. the breakfast was also a letdown. the orange juice tasted like sugared water with minimal orange flavor, and the fruit selection was limited.

Excellent stay
helpful service spacious room luxury coffee tea selection
the staff provided a very helpful service. the room was clean and spacious. i found a great selection of courtesy teas and coffees (the irish breakfast tea was quite something). i really appreciated the espresso machine in the room, great for a luxury coffee experience in the morning.
the corridor upstairs looked a little tired. i think that the public areas could be updated to improve the overall appearance.
