very good hotel , staff friendly but just one in the restaurant during breakfast when locating the breakfast table acted discriminatory and not friendly at all , but all others very friendly and the Indian girl very friendly.
Hotel is in a great location. You can walk everywhere. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Good food in the bar. Would stay again if ever visiting Waterford.
This hotel was quiet, comfortable and amazing. The property around the hotel was clean, tidy right on the waterfront and pleasant to walk around. The hotel itself was bright, friendly and clean.
The hotel was beautiful. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was wonderful. We were served our food. We ate dinner in the bar restaurant. It was delicious and more than we could eat. Fabulous location as well.
Room was clean and comfortable but you can hear all the noise from neighbouring rooms and the corridors. The staff at the front desk were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was very nice. Overall a pleasant stay.
