6/10 Good

Not very kind
I didn’t have the best experience of hospitality overall. Receptionists in particular were cold, bordering on rude. Check-in felt like an interrogation; when I called to say the Wi-Fi was down I was told that “no one else has complained”, and on day of departure I got a stern call telling me check out was at 11 and it was 11:10. (I thought it was at twelve- like most hotels I’ve been to in Ireland, and I’m traveling with a 2 year old as a single mom. Hotel was definitely not full. There was really no need to hurry us except for a sense of what? Authority?) I did have an exceptionally good experience with another member of staff- I think a gentleman who worked in the restaurant- who helped me on two occasions with my daughter’s stroller/buggy. That was a highlight, and in contradiction with the near rudeness of the ladies at reception. I’ve been traveling through Ireland for four weeks and this was my worse experience so far.

Great place to stay in Donegal
This is a perfect location - right on the Diamond. Parking is available nearby (metered spaces you can pay for 9 hours at a time). The pool and gym are a huge plus. The dinner and breakfast we had there were very good. There may be wheelchair accessible rooms but the one we had was not (we didn't request one, just an FYI for guests) - although there was a lift there were also stairs between the lift and our room.
