    The only thing I can think of is that it would have been nice to have a little table or cart to put a toiletry bag on in the bathroom. And that’s me being really picky!

    Breakfast was included, staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was large and very clean, and the bed was comfortable.

    No windows in the rooms that opened so the rooms were a little too hot and stuffy with no air movement. The property is in need of an update. Everything was old and outdated, with a tiny shower and the toilet sounded like a foghorn when flushing.

    Location and the beds were comfortable.

    It was on the grond floor with a door direct to the room. It had a motel feel. The walk in shower was quite new, but it was not thought through. The pressure of the handshower was quite hard when you use it, make sure that you don't wet everything.

    Walkable distance to restaurants. The room was quite big with 2 double beds and it was very comfortable.

    I mentioned poor internet and reception persons said that's how it is. Hit and miss, so we just ate the costs and went to another hotel. :(

    Costly room with poor non functioning internet. We left and got a room at Hotel Doolin. I just ate the cost for 2 rooms at the Lodge Doolin.

    There was no reception - in any sense of the word, and no attempt at service of any kind.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Family Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    No reception - the reception area was mostly locked. No wifi, although it was a listed amenity. Cell service was spotty, though maybe not the hotel's fault. We arrived at 3 pm; reception was locked. when we came back at 4:30, we were shown our room and an additional common area with a kitchen and tables and chairs, "for all the guests". So we bought some things to eat instead of going to another pub, but the door to the room was locked. Reception was also locked. Later, we were told that the area had been rented.There was a kettle in the room, but the cord was too short to reach any outlet unless you set it on the floor: not a good idea with a young child. We were there 2 nights, but the room was never tidied, nor trash emptied. There was only one towel rack, but three people in the room. So wet towels stayed wet.

    we were out of the wind, the heating was in the floor.

    Heating wasn't working in the room. It was warmer out in the corridor than in the room. I thought they were trying to save money and cut down on heating which is fair enough but our heating never came on once. Was uncomfortably cold. Mentioned it to staff but he wasn't to pushed about it

    Room was clean and nicely decorated

    Room was a little cold without a way to control the temperature. There were a couple odd details - no hooks for towels in the bathroom, the door that didn't quite close properly - but nothing that took a lot away from the experience.

    The Lodge is in the perfect location in Doolin - it's a 5-minute walk to either side of town. The dining room where breakfast is held is adorable, and the food is simple but tasty. Great shower.
