The front desk person was very helpful and nice. We were lucky enough to get one of the last rooms in the hotel. There is an internet station in the lobby, a bar/lounge where we got pizza. The bar tender on duty one night didn't know what a margarita was so he let my husband mix the drinks for us! We really enjoyed the entertainment (good version of Sex Bomb) and we got to sit with one of the performers afterwards who is from Boston. The breakfast was included and was quite good. The internet in the room didn't work but we weren't charged for it so that was ok. Nice clean room.

I had a very disapointing stay here. I would really not class it as a 4 star hotel, more like a large guesthouse. Its too long a walk from town and you would need a taxi. The room was ok but 1980's style decor and an uncomfortable bed. However my big issue was the staff, particularly my treatment on checking out. Despite being promised a corporate rate the previous day the receptionist refused to give it to me and I was charged 50% more than I should have. The rate I was charged was too high for this standard of hotel with no facilities. There were many other issues too numerous too mention but it is the first time I have left a so called hotel in a rage. Never again.

Stayed here with my partner for two nights. Nothing special. Ate on the second night in the Restaurant, was okay nothing special.Selection of food was poor/ Service and staff were nice. Was woken at 5am by roaring and screaming from the wedding guests that were staying in the hotel. Was not a nice experience. Room decor is nice but need to do someting with bathrooms. No 4 star bathroom. Breakfast was fine. Selection was poor for a 4 starhotel. Would not stay here again. It was an average experience. No WOW factor.

We stayed at this hotel with a coach party evening meals were very good but service was very slow if they were busy with other people as we felt we took second place to other guests we were squeezed into a small space which made us feel we were not as important to them as other guests. Breakfast was always cold we even tried going down earlier but even when we were first it made no difference. One of our party sent hers back but it came back just as cold. The hotel itself was very nice rooms were clean and to a high standard.

Had a wonderful stay at the Westwood. The accommodations were top notch...much more than my husband and I expected. The bed was extremely comfortable and HUGE! My husband is 6'5 and that made him very happy. The only odd thing was the shower door--it wasn't very practical. The free breakfast was delicious and was served up very quickly. The hotel is approximately 1.5 miles from Galway City. We enjoyed the 20-30 min walk. We would definitely stay there again.
