Tullamore Court Hotel

Tullamore Court Hotel

8/10 Good
"I have stayed at Tullamore Court quite a few times over the last 5 years. This year it was good, but a couple of things were annoying. I paid for a late check-out until 2 pm and was snoozing when I got a knock on the door from housekeeping to clean the room! I explained I had a late check-out; the lady checked her list and apologised, but I was awake then and decided to leave at 1030 am- so a waste of money paying for that. The breakfast: again, I paid for this, but it was not on their breakfast list, so it had to be checked with reception, whilst I waited around to get the OK to eat! I definitely think they let themselves down this year and I wasted money."

"There was a lot of messages to read and i found the automated "virtual" check in and check out a bit clunky and unintuitive. I had to phone recepgion for help with both processes. I prechecked in and wojld have benefitted from a confirmation stating my key would be waiting. Coffee machine but no coffee. Post the WiFi and password more prominently"
