Slieve Bloom Display Centre Tours

Well located apartments.

This hotel was our last stay on our 17 day tour of Ireland. The lobby is quite nice. Staff greeted you and helped with luggage. The checkin was efficient. We originally had a problem with our keys not working, luckily the bellman delivering our luggage was able to let us in. The breakfast was served in two areas on the main level. They didn't take a reservation time for you, so you were lucky if you found a seat during the busy morning rush. The food was good. A lot of variety and the food was hot. It was a pleasant experience. This hotel is big, I mean really big and it was recently renovated. The hallways are wide, big enough to drive a Mini Cooper down. The floors were not carpeted rather faux hardwood in texture. This was great for taking luggage to the elevator on the way out of the hotel. I have to say though, our room was 558 and it was the farthest room on that floor in the corner of the hotel. I absolutely felt that because we used a 3rd party site for booking the room and because we got a great price, we were shoved into the back of the hotel and the guests that spent money on their website rate for a room, were given a better size and location. We went downstairs to see if we could change rooms and we couldn't. Needless to say, the front desk sent us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. Which was nice. Ask to not stay in 558.

It was close to the loction we wanted to go. Staff very friendly, room was good, beds very comfortable. There was a few homlwss people around. May be a bit scary after dark.
