This hotel filters through coach tour after coach tour. It certainly takes a beating and was evident that you were not trusted either!!!! The headboard was nailed to the wall. Stains on the carpets upstairs and down and unhelpful reception staff. You got one complimentary hour on the Internet and after that you had to pay. Staff were not clear... More

The rooms were very spacious and clean as were all the other area's of the hotel. All the staff were very friendly and... More

A truly bad hotel if you are on a tour and expecting better. Getting to your room can be like walking thru a maze as rooms that you would expect to be on one floor are on another. The bath in our room had chunks of ceramic missing and could have been dangerous. Only good aspect was there were shops/pubs... More

Dooleys hotel provided a perfect base for our golfing tour. We stayed half board Monday to Friday. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Food was good with excellent variety on both bar and restaurant menus and ability to mix and match. Could do with more modern room TV's and upgraded bathroom. However a very pleasant stay... More

A clean comfortable hotel with friendly staff in all departments, any requirements asked for met with "no problem" and were attended to without fuss. I would have rated it at 5 but a couple of our party were staying in a front room which suffered from traffic noise in the morning rush hour, which was more of a nuisance than... More
