The hotel is understaffed, hand sanitizer's empty, dirty and unkempt. I found this sticker stuck to the sheets on my bed and also this toenail in my bed. Both of which were not mine. The date on the sticker is December and we checked in Jan 1st. No regard for current pandemic protocol and the staff that was there spent their time half masked and chatting and on their phones. Elevators not cleaned, carpets dirty. Terrible dirty disgusting experience.

Excellent concept and excellent amenities! Located in Terminal 3 at Heathrow but you would never…read moreknow as you can't hair the pedestrian traffic or the air traffic outside. Being that it's right in the middle of an airport you should of course expect no windows, a small room, almost like an inside room of a cruise ship. Since you're only here for a short time these really aren't a bother. I would use again next time I'm traveling through Heathrow, and I highly recommend for anyone else.

Such a depressing hotel. I had the displeasure of staying here when my etihad flight was…read moredelayed/missed. The hotel provided us a dinner voucher which got us the trashiest food I've ever had in my life. The pizza tasted worse than a lunchables kit, the soup tasted like dish water, and the fish and chips was about to flop off my table. Nobody working here had a smile and the lighting was as dark and gloomy as London in December. The rooms reminded me of the 6 months I spent at Pennsylvania State Penitentiary, similar to the bleak decor throughout the hotel. Overall, if you have some weird kink where you like to feel held hostage, deprived, and worthless this is the hotel for you. Thanks Etihad for a totally trash experience.

Recently stayed overnight at Cooney's Hotel, on the main street in Ballymahon, Co Longford - along…read morewith a group of about 15 other hardy walkers who were on the last stint of walking the Royal Canal from Dublin to Clondara Co Longford! We were all more than happy with the reception we got in Cooney's and what a deal - €55 per person for B & B and dinner. The rooms were amazingly large, well furnished, including a double plus a single bed in each room, sparkling white bed linen, TV, free wifi, the works! Really warm and cosy, but would only deduct points for waste of energy as the heating was left on all night and we couldn't turn off the radiator so had to leave a window open - when we reported this to reception the reply was that the 'weather was too cold to turn off the heating'! After a 19 km walk, a lovely warm soothing bath, we all enjoyed a wonderful old-fashioned Irish type dinner in the dining room (we were the only people dining that Monday night - although there appeared to be quite a few eating in the bar) - plenty on each course to choose from the owner/manager even gave us wine at a special price of €15 per bottle so who could argue with that! Breakfast the next morning had to be seen to be believed for a hotel that you would probably pass by it is so ordinary looking in the heart of the country!!.....what a choice and again several courses, ranging from a whole array of cereals, yogurts, porridge served with honey, cinnamon and cream, full and mini cooked breakfast, different types of eggs - I choose scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and did not expect to get such a huge separate serving of smoked salmon - but it did set me up for the day and the 14 km walk along the Royal Canal to our finishing spot where the Canal meets the Shannon at Clondara. If you are on your way to the West of Ireland and feel like a Midlands stop over or better again, spend a few days walking the Royal Canal around that area - drop into Cooneys and treat yourself to B & B and the evening meal!

My mediocre rating is more to do with the value for money than the actual service. Lough Rynn…read moreCastle AKA that place where Brian O'Driscoll got married is a series of period buildings in a secluded estate which is conventiently not too far off the N4. While it can be lovely to stay in historic buildings there are also downsides. The original castle is not a very large building and so the hotel's 43 rooms are spread throughout a number of buildings, some of which are connected by corridors and some are not. There is, as yet, no pool, leisure centre or spa in the hotel, so services are limited. That is certainly not reflected in the price which was 175 for a regular room for one night. The rooms themselves are a lovely mix of old style and modernity, but there are some little things that might get on your wick. Our room was unconnected to the main hotel, which is contrary to what my friend was told when she booked the room. The was an electricity box in our room with elicted quite a loud hum, and our room looked out on the beautiful view of a building site (which will presumably be a pool some day)! The function room was in a modern building which is quite unobtrusive, but is a bit of a walk from the reception and lounge areas at the front of the hotel (although that probably depends on how high your heels are and how much you've had to drink/need to pee!). Pluses had to be the service, the food and the grounds. All of the serice staff were super friendly and accomodating. We were checking in for a wedding and had come straight from the church. The guy showing us to our room took pity on us in our high heels and drove us the 50 metres in a golf buggy! He even offered to let my friend drive after she expressed as her fervent wish - she chickened out unfortunately! The food is really good and both the dinner and the breakfast were excellent. If you have time take a walk in the beautiful walled gardens and take in the views of the lakes. There's also a nature trail which I didn't venture on due to lack of suitable shoes. A lovely place but a bit overpriced.

When you get to my age, even stopping in a place called Strokestown can be a bit disconcerting…read more Strokestown itself is more rundown than up and coming despite it having the second widest street in Ireland at 44.5 metres, being one of the very few planned Irish towns (formally aligned streets and prominent public buildings) and a designated Heritage town. Typical of dodgy politicians mind, who talk the talk but only stick their grubby hands in other peoples' pockets to take care of themselves alone. The cash starved town is home to Strokestown Park House an 18th-century mansion which is home to Iteland's National Famine Museum. We turned into this hotel, named after Percy French an Irish polymath - Irish songwriter, author, poet, entertainer and painter. He was born not very far from the hotel but there's no evidence of any actual connection with it. We stopped for tea and scones. The deal was five star but the fruit scone itself just about three star. It can be made much better using stone cold butter, stone cold full fat milk no margarine or other vegetable oil. Cute cosy hotel. Lots of free parking. Good WiFi and friendly staff. Worth a stop and catch a walk around a neglect town.
