Marie

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had originally booked this hotel for two nights. When we got to our room all we could smell was cigarette smoke. We went to the front desk and asked if they had another room available as I am asthmatic but they could not provide us with another room. I was very worried staying there for the one night due to my breathing but had no choice as there was no other vacancies around. Due to it being a health situation we were able to book another hotel for the second night. We spoke to Maria at the desk to get a refund for the second night and had a representative from Expedia speak with Maria confirming that they would refund us. Looks like Maria was deceiving us as we received an update from Expedia saying the hotel would not refund us. This was a health concern this hotel is clearly not rated right as I always check the rating prior to booking due to health concerns. I would rate this hotel and their staff at a 2. We were very disappointed in Maria, the hotel and Expedia.

Big clean rooms, center of the village and a short walk to the beach. Train to the city takes 45 minutes - and only a 20 minute drive to the airport. Value for money - cheaper than Dublin city centre!

Hot and noisy

My room on the fourth floor was way too hot and didn't have a fan. Opening the window was noisy due to traffic and a pedestrian crossing. There was free onsite parking.
