I stayed in a double bedroom and had breakfast the next morning. I expected the rooms to be a bit better for a 4 star hotel but it was satisfactory for the price that I paid. The breakfast the next morning was very good though. I wasn't impressed when I had to pay for WIFI when it says clearly on their homepage http://www.oranmorelodge.ie/ free WIFI. The charges for the WIFI for 24 hours was 9 euro which was the most economical because i had to do some work during my stay.
The room was outdated, overpriced and the staff weren't very friendly. The hotel is in serious need of modernisation and they need to look at their pricing, €106.00 for a double room with no breakfast and very scant facilities. €9.50 per person for breakfast if you have a booking for it but €12.50 per person if you don't, in these recessionary times everyone is trying to review their prices and offer guests the best value but that is not the case in the Oranmore Lodge Hotel. I left feeling very disappointed and hard done by and I will not be returning. Ever.
Nice room , nice staff. Had dinner on evening in the bar which was top class. All round nice place to stay.
We stayed here on a saturday night and there was plenty of free parking, the check in was quick, nice comfortable room but the bed could have been more comfortable. We ate in the bar & the food was ok, the breakfast was lovely. Would reccommed this hotel if you don't want to stay near the city centre, it is about 10 - 15 minutes drive from the city centre
This was myself and my partner's second stay in the Ramada encore. Our first visit was pleasant, but unfortunately this is not a review of that stay. The evening we arrived we found the double room we had booked was in fact a twin room, with no hope of pushing the beds together to make a double. We went to reception to change roms but were informed that the hotel was booked out that night, but that we would certainly be accomodated in a double room the following evening and could have a free drink at the bar the following evening to make up. The next day we went to reception to change rooms. The lady behind the desk (who had the air of a manageress) was rude and unaccomadating and informed us that the hotel was very busy as a tour group had decided to stay, that we had no hope of switching to a double room and that we were "lucky to have a room at all" and then went and busied herself in another room.The friendliness of the other staff was also quite variable. I will not be returning to the Ramada Encore.
Rooms are nice, but hotel is very basic. No food (except breakfast) availiable at the hotel, instead they only offer "dine out" experiences - which is not great in the pouring rain when you just want a sandwich!!!
