Best Hotel Experience Ever

Pros: The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful. The rooms are large. The hotel is very clean. the food is fabulous. The free bikes
Cons: vely town
Location: Beautiful. Cliffden is nearby and is a lovely town. The Connemara national park is spectacular.
I am a pilot with a large international airline and stay in hotels around the world. I picked this hotel because of the great reviews I had read. The hotel was even better than I had hoped. We didn,t arrive until 8 pm. The reception clerk was still waiting for us to check in. It is off season and there was only one other room booked that night yet the bar tender and the chef were waiting for us. The food we ate here was the best on our trip and maybe the best I have ever had in a hotel. I cant say enough about the entire staff. We saw how they worked when it was slow and full and every one was always friendly and helpful. The Hotel itself is located on an oceanfront road that is out of a movie. The hotel has free bikes to use and we road right from the hotel The most beautiful colors I have ever photographed were on this little half mile stretch of single lane road. We traveled with our two young adult children and rented a family suite. It was huge. Two bedrooms and a living room. The rooms are kept immaculate by the friendliest room cleaner I have ever met. My hat is off to the Managers who have made this little place so magical.
