9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)
The hotel is in a good location, and staff were generally helpful, however the hotel its self needs updating in regards to its rooms and amenities. Our room was like a sweat box with the fan making little to no difference. The window could barely open and even during the night a breeze was not circulating. Air con is a necessity in the summer months. Thank God we were only staying 1 night or would have moved hotels. Bathroom was not that clean and in need of a paint job. We had requested an extra fan but request was not fulfilled

"My main issue was parking, but the girl on reception fixed that over the phone by sending me the address and link by email to get there and was at least two minutes walk to the hotel, being a cork man living 23 years in Sligo I have to say I never seen or heard about Isaacs hotel before, its staff ..."
