We had sent in a request with online check-in, which we had confirmed on the day of arriving (where we had confirmation that it was done for us), that our two rooms needed to be near each other, however once we came to collect our room keys, they had us on separate floors. It took some time to sort, but the staff at the desk eventually managed to sort this for us so that we could get into our rooms. Apart from this, we had a nice stay and we would return.

Brilliant 4 Star service

This is an old school 4 Star. Wow who knew room service still existed so well! Many 4 stars technically have it but it’s rather feeble in practice. This hotel still has it - enjoyed a good standard burger in my room:). Nice telly size and a bath too which was great for my sore back. Keep it up Tara you can keep your walk in showers other hotels- the Tara maybe a little old in places but it’s quiet, comfy and just what a 4 star should be
