Great hotel
I was late arriving and the staff were very accommodating in getting me a table in the restaurant before it closed. There is onsite parking which is free and the room was very clean and comfortable, just a pity I was there long enough to enjoy it more.

Room was very hot, no air con (I appreciate its Ireland but it was a warm day and night). And if you opened the window you heard the busy road outside! Breakfast was fine but lacked imagination and the sense everything was cooked from fresh ingredients rather that prepared bought in food.

Room with a rue
I asked if there was a vegetarian option for breakfast on check in (Victoria) and only got a vague guess. Turns out it was limited, no veggie/vegan sausages etc. What if one didn't eat eggs or mushrooms? (Which I don't). It was a cramped, corner room (319) that I stayed in, and unfortunately it had an extreme amount of external noise. Bottles going into skips throughout the night, along with people gathering. I should have changed it after checking in but I was too tired, but I didn't expect the aforementioned, regardless of the crampiness etc. In fairness Felicity apologised when I checked out.

Great hotel, amazing staff, great location
Well done Ellison hotel! Wonderful staff. I've been to numerous hotels and have never seen one where everyone was so kind, attentive and welcoming. In addition, excellent rooms and facilities, great food (e.g., best seafood chowder I've ever had) and central location with all shops within short walking distance. Though I was on a business trip, I had time to admire some of the beauty of Co. Mayo and fell in love with it.

Nice hotel.
Great size room. In- house resturant served great food. Service was on point. Yes. I'll be staying again, given the chance. Note: the hotel seems popular with bus tours. Unfortunately these tour groups can over run the hotel.

The suite we were in had a large wrap around set of windows. Great view but the darkening curtains need attention or replacement. The rail was damaged making it very difficult to close the curtain. I had to stand on a chair and carefully bring it along to close.
