LaHinch Lodge is located very close to the Bus Eireann pick up/drop off for the town of Lehinch. The hotel is a very short, easy walk to reach from there. It's also nearby several restaurants, pubs, and the beach/ocean! It's not a long walk at all to those conveniences.
I was incredibly pleased with our stay for the fact that the young woman (a blonde) who checked us in was INCREDIBLY helpful and a joy to talk to! She stayed past her shift speaking to me like old friends; it was so nice. She also recommended a great restaurant for dinner, which was easy to find by foot.
Another lady who worked in the morning was also very pleasant and did a good job of juggling breakfast orders and check-outs.
Free breakfast, continental OR hot dishes, was included with the stay. Some of the dishes, like coffee/tea cups, were dirty, but otherwise there was no issue with the cleanliness of the hotel (our room was perfect).
Our room, for two people, was VERY large with a twin bed and another bed, that was at least a queen size, with a nice desk &chair, wardrobe, and an additional chair. The room was a little warm for us, but with the window open it was great! We also had a nice, spacious bathroom that was clean with ample towels and floor mats.
I couldn't have hoped for a better hotel and staff, especially on that particular day (lots of bus travel). The staff have made LaHinch Lodge one of my favorite hotels, as well as somewhere I'd like to stay again!
