“Not the best--pick a bed and breakfast instead”

Although the website for the hotel paints a pretty picture, the reality is that this hotel could be so much better than it is. It wasn't too expensive, but compared to our stays in bed and breakfasts in other places in Ireland, this was a disappointment. I think with an infusion of money and more staff, this could be so much nicer, but it looked very tired and sad, and the odors from the kitchen were very unappealing. We ate elsewhere. Room itself was clean enough and big by European standards (we had a triple), but ceiling was cracked in places, carpet stained, and shower pressure weak. Location is good--it's a great place to begin and end a Connemara loop drive and still be fairly close to Galway. But there is nothing nearby at all, no town, no gas station, nothing. Maam Cross is simply a point on the map. Funny point--my husband asked me when I thought the hotel had been built (based on the way it looked), and I said probably 1960's. A plaque on the wall said it had been dedicated less than 10 years ago. Does not look it, from the outside or the inside. The staff are nice enough, by the way, just looked a bit overtaxed. Made me feel a bit sad for them.

“Not good”

The shower was horrible, and the beds were uncomfortable. One of the beds had me rolling off because it slanted so much. The restaurant service was horrible too.

“Worst Part of my Ireland Trip!!”

By far the worst experience I had in Ireland. I was looking for a hotel that would provide some outdoor activities (walking paths, fishing etc). All of which are listed on Peacockes website. I even contacted them to double check that these activities were available which we were promised they were. Upon arrival we discovered by available they meant available at surrounding hotels up to 30 min away that we could drive to?!?! In addition the place was understaffed and unfriendly. We needed to check out 8 AM (along with other guests) and there wasn't a single staff person there so we all had to leave our keys on the desk. Do not waste your money!
