Freeport House — Hotel in County Galway

we had a family room; the room was way too small for 4 people. especially when we opened our 4 suitcases on the floor, we had trouble walking in the room. extremely small bathroom and shower with unstable water temperature. the beds were uncomfortable because you could feel the wires of the electric blankets underneath the sheets. limited breakfast selection--only traditional irish breakfast and pancakes. host was only okay; seemed friendly on the surface in the beginning but appeared very upset when we ringed her for assistance the second time. she also sounded weird when she said "thank you" when we were checking out, as if her "thank you" was only to force me to have to thank her in return. all this for $220 a night in total. would definitely NOT recommend. stay...

We arrived on a stormy Sunday night and were greeted by our lovely hostess Joan at the front door. We fortunately discovered this absolutely charming B&B on Galway Bay, by chance. As this was our first adventure to Ireland from Canada, Joan made us feel most welcome and right at home. Her place was immiculate and tastefully furnished, we were delighted with our cozy ocean view room. As we had booked a couple of tours, Joan went out of her way to make sure we had a taxi to hook us up with our tour bus the following day in Galway. The Irish breakfast was amazing, we highly recommend this|| B& B. We were in walking distance to many nice restaurants and pubs. Be sure to try O'Grady's on the waterfront, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for such wonderful...

Simply stated, our room was very tired and, more importantly, not particularly clean. We were unfailingly polite but the host was indignant, mean, and totally unprofessional. We opted to leave immediately. I paid for the full night - cash only, by the way, and continued to receive a barrage of rude, hurtful comments. I am only too happy to have paid not to be there. After a week in Ireland, this is the only time we've been confronted with something like this. Every place we have stayed has been spectacular and the people equally so. This place, however, is tired and out of step with current times. What could have been old Ireland charm is, instead, just out of touch...
