We had booked a family room and we got two massive rooms together with a huge king size bed and two singles in the other room for the kids. Very clean and well presented.

The Clayton was quiet, away from the noise of Sligo and very family oriented. We enjoyed the sauna, the restaurant/bar and the breakfasts were excellent. It’s slightly outdated and the rooms are small but well appointed. The staff was friendly and very helpful, parking was ample. Overall, we recommend especially if you have a car.

Overall stay was lovely, family room was amazing, so big and spacious. Leisure club staff were very friendly. Breakfast was gorgeous. Told by receptionist that there was no kids club or movie night etc but turns out there was and that we didn't need a reservation at the bar for dinner, turns out we did. We waited 45 mins for a table and another 45 minutes for our food to be served. Service was terrible, no one came near us through out our meal to check if we needed drinks etc. We kept having to get up to ask for things.

Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Stayed in a 3 person room. Used the pool facilities which were lovely in the morning. Had dinner in the restaurant also which was very nice and suited our needs perfectly. Stayed here after playing a gig in Sligo. Came back late and the reception advised us that we could order drinks to the room by scanning a QR code. It was not fit for purpose. Alcoholic beverages were available but soft drinks were not. All we wanted was a 7up or something similar. The online thing wasn’t working, rang to reception, classic “computer says no” situation unfortunately. The staff were very helpful and dropped us up some mi-wadi, they could do that because it was free - but it showed the flaw in the system that they couldn’t take a simple order for a soft drink over the phone due to an app issue. A bit of flexibility would go a long way here and certainly would be more suitable to any older customers who would find QR codes and online ordering to be a challenge. Other than that, had a mighty time. Will stay again.
