Need new beds (mattresses were warn with broken springs) and shower enclosures need updated. Also the first floor windows have little to no security when open (no air conditioning) and can be opened completely if someone was seeking to enter your room.

The outside location was beautiful! But…We did not like our room at all though. Our outside window faced someone else’s window. It seemed very creepy. We did not have a view at all ! Our room seemed dark and outdated. We did not like our room at all!

Was supposed to check in at 16 hours nearly an hour late to give us room key would not hold onto our cases until check in time as we arrived early Going out next morning shower not working so was impossible for us to wash a basic in all accommodations no heating room was actually very cold at night kept having to go down to reception and asking them to put heating on as it must be controlled from there asked for a reduction of our stay was refused so that was two things that should have been no issues with would not recommend this 4star hotel in bundoran and Expedia you should keep these updates on your website
