poor dinner variety

The hotel offers breathtaking views over Galway Bay.

During my stay, I encountered difficulties with parking as spaces were limited. Although I found a public spot across the road, it was inconvenient. Additionally, I was hoping for more variety in the dinner menu, especially for vegetarian options, as I struggled with my choices and ended up disappointed with my meal.

stunning sea views

limited dinner options

The location is incredible, right across from the pier, providing stunning sea views. The facilities are top-notch, especially the beautifully designed room that features modern amenities and luxurious touches. I particularly enjoyed the high-quality toiletries provided, which added a nice touch to my stay.

The menu options for dinner could be more diverse, especially for those with dietary preferences.

Stunning views and excellent service

My recent stay was fantastic, with breathtaking views of Galway Bay right from my room. The staff went above and beyond, particularly Shauna at the front desk, who made us feel so welcome. Breakfast was another highlight, especially the variety and quality of the food offered. However, I did find the dinner menu options a bit limited, especially for vegetarians.
