Arriving as I did from the northern side of Ashbourne, the Marriott Hotel is the first, and I must say very impressive, sight you meet on the outskirts of the town. The grounds are very well kept, and the entrance to the hotel is very welcoming and well signposted. The lobby is spacious and modern, with loads of seating areas. The staff are warm, friendly and competent. Check-in was as quick and painless as I like it to be. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable, with a very good air-conditioning system too. The room has every thing one would need or expect in a four star hotel nowadays, apart from the fact that the space where I presumed the mini-bar should be was empty - not only was there no drink............there was no bar either!! I had meant to ask the staff about this, but forgot to do so. The bathroom was adequate - probably could have been a bit bigger, perhaps with a separate shower which some hotels now provide, and certainly there should have been more towels and toiletries - it was as if they were expecting one person instead of two! We arrived on a Sunday evening and found we were unable to eat in the restaurant, but gladly settled for the bar menu which was very good - the food was good and plentiful. The service was excellent, as was the service from the bar itself. My major disappointment was breakfast. By now I have grown accustomed to a wide selection of foods at breakfast, and I found the breakfast at the Marriott Ashbourne lacking in choice. The menu is extensive enough but there should be a wider variety of cereals, breads, jams, fruit and cold meats. I would like to have been able to sample the restaurant menu, but maybe another time. I would be happy to stay there again, and to recommend it to friends, family and fellow travellers.

Lovely rooms,nice breakfast.Some staff friendly.Kareoke room tiny and the songs are old

I was at a wedding there, really enjoyed it, the rooms were spotless and the beds were so comfy! really enjoyed my stay, would definatly love to go back!

A fine example of an excellent 4 star hotel. Leisure centre facilities good and staff very helpful. Food in restaurant good although a bit limited for choice. Room was clean and tidy with the usual comforts, the way a 4 star hotel room should be. A very rapid response to correct the air conditioning when it failed. Staff very helpful and friendly, reception staff exceptional. We were provided with an early breakfast when we left at 04:30 to get to the airport.

The most amazing stay ever.Hotel spotless clean & service excellent The rooms are amazing all mod cons & the beds were so comforable with luxury bed linen. I felt very relaxed throughout my stay & will definately return.

Excellent value for money. Rooms are spacious and modern, with flat screen TV's, King size beds (big fluffy pillows) and free internet. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Room service was excellent however there is a €10 tray charge on all room service. I really enjoyed my stay.

i Stayed in the marriott in ashbourne just before christmas.it was a very enjoyable stay.staff very friendly .had breakfast next morning and it was lovely.would go back to this hotel.

Such value for money, incredible, only a little more than b/b.we availed of computer booking only two days beforehand,arrived cold foggy evening, welcomed courteously. our room was superb, spacious, warm and the most comfortable bed ever, a real kingsize. one point, could not the name of my lady partner not also be shown on screen? Restaurant staff were exceptional in their courtesy and attention and the decor was very fitting with Celtic motif on seating etc.The food, I nearly said grub, was of the best even though we had only a light meal, the penne was generous, the classic pavlova was yummy. Breakfast was excellent, the buffet had adequate variety...I seldom eat sausages but would have preferred smaller size. Car park area close to hotel door...two points here...when leaving I wasn't sure of my bearings, an arrow would have helped, also an EXIT sign.As we arrived in the dark, a sign back along the road would have assured us we were on the right road.Being in Ireland we would have liked to see some signage in Irish, I'm sure you will get around to this. Overall impression, beautiful hotel,really friendly staff.We would hope to return and explore the area. Apologies for longwinded account.

We stayed at your hotel on 9th of august for our sons wedding and despite the worst weather on record for august we had an absolute brilliant day. The food we couldnt fault the staff were brilliant throughout the day and our rooms were clean and roomy. We had a very positive response from our family and guests who also enjoyed their day.So on behalf of us all thanks to everyone at the hotel.Well done everyone at the Marriott.

My wife and I stayed at the Marriott hotel Ashbourne recently and had a wonderful time the hotel was very nice and spotless the staff were very friendly. We try to visit a new hotel once a month and I must say the Marriott ranks one of the best we have stayed in in a long time the atmosphere in the bar was good and the service prompt breakfast was buffet it was quite good tasty and fresh, unfortunately we arrived late and did not avail of the leisure facility how ever they looked good and the pool was a good size but most of all were the beds both of us agree it was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We definitely got value for money and we look forward to staying at the Marriott again.

Overall,an enjoyable couple of days.Hotel very comfortable and staff very friendly. However,disappointed with: 1) False emergency alarm @ 1.45am on 29/3/08. 2) Cold tea for breakfast on 2 mornings. 3) Very disappointing dinner in your Grill 21 restaurant 4) Heating in room 322 not working properly - had to get portable heater.

Hotel was fab, very modern and very clean. The night was very enjoyable, food was very tasty and the service was excellent. I asked for a late check out as I had the a few too many drinks the previous night this was no problem and there was no extra cost;.Defently will go back.

A lovely modern hotel with clean decor. The room was very spacious and well-fitted with a lovely flat-screen TV and complementary internet access. The king-size bed was too big, if such a thing was possible and the linens were crisp and fresh. The Red bar is beautifully decorated and an evening meal in the Grill restaurant was very tasty and excellent value. The swimming pool has hydrotherapy jets and was very relaxing. The Marriott Ashbourne is an excellent value hotel with friendly, polite staff.

I travel extensively and stay in some beautiful hotels though I find there is always something, however small which will spoil an otherwise excellent stay, I thought it was me! Not anymore, my partner and I were speechless with the palatial room, the overall architecture and professional, friendly service. Problem was we dared not turn back leaving...just in case. An experience rather than a stay...well done. Tom Mc C
