Stayed For 2 Nights Whilst In Ireland For A Gig At Slane Castle. The Location Of The Hotel Is Right Opposite The Beach, So The View From Reception & The Dining Area Is Beautiful. Its Only A 20min Drive From The Airport & They Have Free Onsite Parking Which Was Perfect For Us As We Rented A Car To Drive To Slane And Back And Not Many Hotels Had Parking Available At All, Let Alone Free For Guests. The Room Was Lovely, The Hotel Decor Was Beautiful & The Staff Were All Super Friendly And Helpful! I Would Highly Recommend & Would Definitely Return!!

I stayed here for 1 night to go to a concert. The staff were very helpful. But the room was not clean there was wine stains on the carpet and the bed side tables looked like they hadn't been wiped in a long time.. also no WiFi did not work in our room. And the shower unit was coming away from the wall.
