The Lough Rea Hotel and Spa is a nice hotel with spacious, clean and tastefully decorated rooms. The beds are comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was a little weak. We asked to have someone come and look at it but no one followed through. The staff was polite but there was rarely anyone at the front desk. Overall, my stay was satisfactory, and I would stay here again.

The property was beautifully decorated. Staff were all mostly helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Nice and hot. Room was a family room very spacious, net curtains could do with being replaced. Quite ripped and worn Other than that room was very comfortable. Would nt hesitate to go back to this hotel again. Not really far from Galway.
