On a boat trip around Lough Ree my friend knew of this place and called ahead to see if we could…read morepull up for the night and also if we could put a tent on the shoreline too, which they gladly agreed to and at no cost! Sweet! This place is a restaurant/bar along with having multiple chalets for rent; whilst you can access it from the main road there is also a public jetty which you can use to pull up along side. To find the jetty from the lake you have to really know the area and what gem lies beneath... There's no signage, just a keen eye. Arriving on shore, there are a few chalets facing the shoreline, they look great! Tucked behind a few chalets, you have the restaurant! Asked for a table for 4, with a 30-45 minute wait, there is a small bar area which wasn't busy so we huddled up there and after a day on the lake, a well deserved drink was in order. Staff were very friendly and no sooner were we given a table :-) Everyone was raving about the half crispy duck so we surely ordered that, with me, I opted for the steak... The food was excellent, portioned to feed an army although after our active day, we made a sterling effort with everything. To start I had the French onion soup, was delicious. Next up was the steak, which I was not prepared for... The menu just says steak small or large, I said large thinking hey, 10oz maybe... Oh no, what felt like 100oz was served up with onions mushrooms along with garlic butter. Feast like I've never had before, protein sweats of the good kind ensued!

We arrived later in the evening so there wasn't a lot of places open to get food. We resorted to…read morethe vending machines. There was only one vending machine that was working and it wasn't fully stocked. The kitchen was closed. The late night desk clerk was nice enough to take us back to the employee vending machine just to get something to eat. I think it listed somewhere as a four-star hotel, but it didn't seem that it was actually four star and maybe more a three-star hotel but that might be the reason why they're updating and doing all the construction. They were doing quite a bit of construction which was badly needed to update the interior and exterior of this hotel. I was a little shocked at how outdated the room was regarding the fixtures and room treatments. It also smelled old and as if the dust settles often. I will say that the room was quite large but it was lacking in some of the main amenities that you would find in a more prestigious hotel. At the end of the day, it was an okay place just to rest for the night. The Wi-Fi was terrible and got worse the further down the hallway you got away from the central part of the hotel. We kept getting kicked off the Internet and maybe had one or two Wi-Fi bars sporadically throughout the evening. There aren't also a lot of places to eat around there and a lot of food delivery services don't deliver there either. It was nice to have free parking at least and like I said the night desk staff was really nice. The check out was easy as well.

The food in the bar is dreadful & the fine dining area was too expensive for a family to use. Unfortunately when we were there a sharp piece of plastic ended up in my daughter's ice cream & they had a fire drill for staff without telling any guests on the third floor which meant a relative in her late sixties with a very bad hip & back had to defend three stories by stairs with everyone else only to be told when she got there that there was no need to. Frightened the kids too. A request for a pitcher of water to be sent to a room at 10.45 arrived at 12.15 after two calls down to reception. Slight touch of fawlty towers going on. Free wifi that sometimes works in the rooms. Not the best of experiences. I'd love to rate it higher, unfortunately can't.

The room is a tad small but well equipped with robes, Nespresso, tea and free parking, free wifi and s safe. The public areas are lovely especially the expansive deck overlooking the river. The breakfast buffet offered a vast assortment of options including a full Irish breakfast. My only suggestion would be add a bit of ambiance with background music in the restaurant. Also the workout room was well equipped but the blaring music put me off, we took an early morning walk along the river instead (there is a footpath along the river on the side opposite the hotel). The location is perfect, on the banks of the River Shannon in the center of Athlone. Historic sites, restaurants and bars are an easy walk.
