Sorry for the delay in reporting back on the Ramada. Been a busy week.
Hotel is just off the main Dublin road (old main road). It's about 1.5 miles into town.
Good Points (in no particular order)
Swimming pool is a good size with Jacuzzi, steam room and full leisure facilities. All very clean and well maintained
Staff are excellent, mannerly and courtious.
Food - excellent. Breakfast to die for along with evening meal
Bed - huge!!! We have a King size but this one was HUGE!!
Room good and big with good size en-suite
Internet facilities in room f.o.c. (Reception will give you a cable for 5 Euro refundable deposit).
Not so good points
Have to go through the Bar to get to restaurant.
Service at evening meals slow (had to call waiter/ress a few times)
Found a cob-web!!!! in the corner of our room. (no big deal)
If you decide to go there, don't be afraid to bargain with the hotel on a deal. We used the Super Valu vouchers and my in-laws paid full whack. My husband was fishing in the Ridge Pool and the Gillie told me to bargain in future with the hotel as they are very accommodating.
Would I stay there again? - yes, but need a car to get into town if the weather is bad otherwise it's a nice walk.
Hope the above is of some help to you. Enjoy whatever hotel you decide.
