The only issue is getting out of there (even for the taxis) requires an awkward drive through a tight parking lot. The entire staff was professional and friendly. I think the decor is cool, lots of velvet and fun colors. Our room was clean and super spacious. Robes and slippers provided. The bed was very comfortable and allowed for a great night of sleep. There's even a mini-fridge that you can actually use and not get charged for. On check in there was a little bag of snacks and a plate of desserts with a lovely welcome note. Turn down service brought some tasty chocolates. Really nice touches. One of the highlights of the stay was the breakfast. These were undeniably our best breakfasts of our week in Ireland.

They offer valet but there is free self park with elevators that go to the car park. There is a movie theater behind the hotel and nice restaurants in walking distance. I know the decor is deliberate but it feels old and outdated. We had 2 remotes in the room, one worked for the tv in living room and who knows what the other remote was for. The tv in the bathroom didn't have a remote. The gas fireplace was turned off by orders of the county. I loved the water views and the room amenities. Cool place.

It doesn't feel touristy though. The lobby is really nice and there is a spot for coffee in the morning under a living wall that is stunning. Rooms are pretty standard. Not much to say about them. Ours was a bit warm but you can request a fan. The amenities is what really sells this hotel. You get access to an actual gym that is the equivalent to a 24 hour / LA fitness. Hotel guests have access to it and you can use their giant pull or fully loaded gym. Note if you want to use the kids activity center, you actually have to book it and it has limited hours.

While we visited Galway during our second trip to Ireland, we stayed at the Menlo Park Hotel, where…read morewe enjoyed our time. The hotel is ideally located between Eyre Square in Galway City Centre and the N6 highway while sitting on the Wild Atlantic Way. We were upgraded to a better room with a king-sized bed that was comfortable and cozy. We had all the amenities we needed between the drawer and closet space and excellent shower pressure from the bathroom. Everyone that worked there was very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet each morning, which included gluten-free options. We also grabbed dinner at the restaurant there on the first night. There's also another restaurant and bar there, which we enjoyed drinks. Given we had rented a car to drive to Galway, we had easy parking space options with no issues getting around to head over to Galway City Centre and the surrounding areas.

The Menlo Park hotel is a welcome place of repose for a first time traveler in Ireland. We rented a…read morecar and drove from Dublin, and found the hotel fairly easily, right off the main M6. You MUST follow the written directions that the hotel will email you - or the GOS navigation will fail you (it failed us when we used it to return from a day trip !). I'll include that written direction below. The staff of the hotel are extremely friendly! Early in the morning, I really wanted better coffee than the instant coffee in the room. The reception worker gladly allowed me into the restaurant do use the instant espresso machine to make myself a good coffee... That's just one example of the kind of generous, kind staff there is at the hotel. The room is spacious, even with a king size bed. There is actually enough room in this bedroom to do a plyometric workout. That's important, since there is no fitness room in this hotel. The bathroom is also spacious and has a nice bathtub with the shower. The hotel is quiet, and the bed is very comfortable. The restaurant in the hotel is surprisingly excellent! You might not think that a smaller hotel restaurant would be so good, but the food was very flavorful and fresh! The local flavors were evident, and the locally caught Seabass fish was excellent and fresh! This is a great place to stay to explore Galway, the cliffs of Moher and the Burren! I can't say anything about the public transport or buses in relation to the hotel, as we rented a car to come here. By the way, if you are an American considering renting a car at Dublin to drive in Ireland, I would say, go for it! I had to learn to drive stick shift with the left hand, and on the left side of the road... The first 15 minutes leaving Dublin were a little hectic, but after that you get the hang of it pretty easily! The roads are as narrow and sketchy as they say in the blogs... One local driver zipped past me so fast on the narrow road that our side mirrors next to one another! So, I do recommend the extra insurance...! Anyway, Menlo Park hotel is a great place to stay very comfortable, accommodating, and has a great friendly staff! Friendliness of the staff really adds so much to the value of the place... The simple fact that they let me make my own coffee in the restaurant in the morning made me feel like I was staying in my own house or a friends house... The lobby has lots of comfy chairs and couches to sit and enjoy that early morning coffee while my spouse could stay asleep in the room. Additionally, the hotel has a laundry service. 420 pounds per load, we dropped off our laundry in the morning and picked it up clean and folded in the evening. That is such a great value added to our stay as well! Again- i have enjoyed my stay at the Menlo Park Hotel very much - and i recommend it to you!
