Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, plus the bathroom was spotless. Breakfast on the 13th floor offered great views, a good choice of food, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
The hotel is in a perfect location for our needs and got early check-in assistance from a helpful receptionist. The rooms were fantastic and just right for the price we paid, but the breakfast for the kids came at an extra expense that seemed unnecessary.
The hotel is conveniently located just off the motorway, making it easy to reach Dundalk town center. The staff is welcoming and kind, providing excellent service. The dining options are of good quality, especially the hot food. The location is excellent for exploring Dundalk and the surrounding areas, with easy access to the beach at Blackrock and attractions like Carlingford and Newry.
The hotel had a shower and a bath which was to die for and was spotless, but it wasn't great at keeping noise out. The room was huge, very good, and nice to sleep in.
