“Excellent experience”

Excellent service and perfect value. No complaints. We will repeat. Thanks

“The late night supper.”

My partner and I stayed in your hotel on the night of April 7th. We discovered that all restaurants in Athlone had closed by 9 pm.

My partner and I stayed in your hotel on the night of April 7th. We discovered that all restaurants in Athlone had closed by 9 pm. I want to say a very big thank you to Maria at the front desk and Raj, the duty manager, for getting the kitchen staff to conjure up a meal for two at the last minute. They were so helpful and friendly to us. You are so lucky to have staff like that, going above and beyond their duty of care for your customers. They made our stay in Shamrock Lodge so memorable. We will definitely be back. Well done to all.

“Great Location, Exceptional Service”

We came for a visit to Ireland in April and chose the Shamrock Lodge due to its central location. We were only a 1-hour to 2-hour drive for day trips to all the areas we were scheduled to visit, and within walking distance to the center of Athlone. The lodge restaurant was very good, with a good selection, and the staff was super pleasant. I definitely recommend having a meal or two at the lodge. Breakfast was good, but the same each day with sausage, hash browns, blood sausage, beans, eggs, cereal, etc.. Side note for anyone from the states, they do not provide washcloths (none of the hotels did), because people have their own loofas, so bring something with you that you can throw away at the end of your trip. Originally we booked a 2-bed/2-bath unit, and were very disappointed. First, the website said there is a TV in every room.. There is not. Every room had a door which automatically closed behind you, so it felt like you were going in and out of a maze. The 2nd bath must be intended for small children because the grown men and women could not fit with the shower door shut, and the we are not large people, plus it had a very small pedestal sink and no place to put toiletries. The larger bathroom had a tub and more room, however, it also had a shower curtain that stuck to you every time you moved or bumped it. The one room with a TV (which as about the size of a computer monitor) also had 2 chairs and a twin bed, so it definitely did not accommodate 4 people to watch TV. Our friends had a washer/dryer in their unit, we did not. Now, with that said, we could not have been any more pleased with the staff at the Shamrock. When we spoke to them about the issues in the family unit, they couldn't have been any more accommodating. Once two rooms opened up in the main lodge, they moved us immediately. The rooms in the main lodge were perfect.
