John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our stay here! Rooms are great and you are on the water! We enjoyed the room, views of the bay from the room, and being just across the street from the promenade. Our kids jumped off the dive board which was a highlight of their trip to Galway! We loved the hotel, enjoyed drinks in the sunroom looking at the bay, and the Irish breakfast is fantastic. We took the bus into town and back which was cheap and easy - we were happy we chose to stay in Salthill rather than near the bars/shops. The hotel pool and bar are great too - we wish we had more time here!
