We recently spent a night at The Old Ground and found it to be a very agreeable place to stay if you're going to be in Ennis. The hotel is centrally located and is very convenient to shopping and restaurants. The property is well-maintained and the staff did a very good job. If you're flying into Ireland, Shannon Airport is... More

Stayed here for 3 nights. This is a beautiful property but the rooms could use a bit of updating.We were 2 women sharing and there is hardly anyplace to put a toothbrush let alone 2 peoples makeup bags. A magnifying mirror would be very helpful. We had one in all the other places we stayed. The toilet reminded me of... More

We stayed at this hotel as the meeting place of a biking tour of Ireland we were on. We arrived on a morning flight, and the front desk receptionist was gracious about letting us check in to our room right away--always nice after a red-eye transatlantic flight, especially as the hotel had been full the night before. The room and... More

I'm not sure what rooms other people have stayed in but my room in the corner of the 4th floor is fantastic. The room is very clean, spacious, and the bed is very comfortable. I could not ask for more from my room. Their was a bowl of fruit waiting for me in the room which will be very helpful... More

Considering the service we got I think they were very ambitious with the price they charged. We were told check in was at 2pm and we arrived at 2:30pm. As they had a wedding they were quite busy and asked us to come back in 20 minutes. We went into the bar and it was packed, you could not move.... More

Was attending an event in the town so the location made sense. I would not normally stay there as I assumed it was a bit tired and worn. The best decison we made was to pay the extra €20 for a deluxe suite. Big room, big bathroom and nice view at the front of the hotel. It is old and... More
