McGettigan's Hotel Letterkenny

McGettigan's Hotel Letterkenny

8/10 Good
"Room was generally tidy although upon entering there was a bad as if someone had been to the toilet. When we arrived I asked a male member of staff at reception did he know or could he recommend anywhere to exchange sterling into Euros. This member of staff informed he didnt know anywhere that would be open to facilitate this request. When I went back to my room I read the guest handbook to see that the hotel itself did exchange euros. On our way to the restaurant we asked the same member of staff could he change £100 sterling like it says in the guest handbook. He was reluctant and unhelpful and offered a dreadful exchange rate. If this is something that hotel does not cater for it should be removed from the guest handbook. If it is something that the hotel does cater for training the staff on compliance with this would be essential. On a brighter the food in the restaurant was outstanding great value top quality."

"Me and my 4 adult daughters stayed for 2 nights. It is a very good and clean apartment and very convenient to shopping centre and town. A couple of things we want to highlight no mirrors in either bedroom. TV in either bedroom didn't function. Not enough plug sockets in bedrooms for charging phones or for hairdryers."

"My husband and I were there just for a quick break, just a couple of hours from home. The hotel was easily found and plenty of parking spaces including disabled. Reception staff were polite and friendly and our room was spacious and comfortable. We did not use the spa amenities as travelling about most of the day we just wanted a drink and some entertainment. We were not disappointed in that, we were room only as both of us cannot eat a big feed in the morning but you could book in for breakfast if you wanted. Could not fault this hotel."
