The hotel offered a clean and spacious room, which was very comfortable, although it was a bit chilly upon arrival. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure I felt welcome. While the location was nice and provided a cozy atmosphere for meals, it was somewhat challenging to find. The dining experience was really fulfilling with a great breakfast that hit the spot. All in all, this place was good value for money, but I wish the rooms were a little more modern.

The hotel has a really convenient location with easy parking right outside, which I found quite handy. The rooms were large and clean, with basic amenities. However, they did have a slight musty smell and felt a bit outdated. While my stay was enjoyable overall, I think there's room for improvement in the room quality.

My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the location is perfect, right in the heart of the main street of lovely Leitrim. On the other hand, the rooms were really disappointing, very outdated and in need of serious renovations. The service, however, was excellent, with friendly staff who truly made an effort. The dining experience was a highlight, with an amazing breakfast that packed a punch. Overall, I felt it was a decent price but the room quality needs a makeover.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and while it had a great location in the center of Ballinamore, the rooms left much to be desired. They were not particularly comfortable and had several maintenance issues. The service was a mixed bag, with some staff being helpful while others seemed uninterested. The dining experience, however, was a highlight, offering a hearty breakfast that was delicious. Overall, while there are some positives, there are also significant negatives that would make me hesitant to recommend this place.
