Reviews and Ratings
I had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff in the breakfast area were genuinely friendly and helpful, my initial check-in was quite off-putting. The room had a strong bleach smell at first, and while it was spacious, it definitely needs some updates. The dining was decent, but nothing to rave about, and overall, the hotel felt a bit outdated. Still, it’s conveniently close to the beach, which is a plus.
My stay at O'Shea's Hotel was a mixed bag. On the upside, the staff were welcoming and attentive, and the location near the beach was fantastic. However, I found the noise level quite disruptive at night, and my dining experience left much to be desired. Overall, while there were some positives, my enjoyment was affected by a few key issues.
I had a decent stay at this hotel, offering a quaint charm and friendly atmosphere. The location is superb for beach lovers, but I found the dining experience lacking, especially with late-night options. The room was comfortable and clean, which added to the overall positive vibe of my visit.
I had a fantastic time at this hotel! The staff were lovely and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was truly award-winning, with so many delicious options that set the day off right. However, the rooms felt a bit dated and the bar food in the evening left something to be desired, with my burger being overly greasy. Despite these minor downsides, the overall experience was great!
I had a wonderfully unique experience at this charming dog-friendly hotel. The character and warmth of the place are truly lovely, and the staff made us feel right at home. The spacious room was very comfortable, though I did notice some areas could use a bit of updating. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the seafront, making it perfect for walks with my dog. On the downside, I did encounter some cleanliness issues that could be improved.
