My stay at the Bonnington Hotel was quite mixed. The staff was helpful and friendly, and my room was spacious and clean. However, the dining experience and some facilities, like the spa, left much to be desired. For the price I paid, I expected a more relaxing and enjoyable stay, but overall, it fell short of my expectations.

I had mixed feelings about the dining options. Breakfast had a good variety, but some items, like the rasher, were not fresh and quite disappointing overall. I would have preferred more consistency in the food quality.

The leisure facilities, like the pool and sauna, were well maintained and provided a nice touch to my experience. However, the lack of a nightcap option or stocked mini-bar was a letdown for late returns.

My stay at Bonnington Hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable, especially for my preschooler. However, I faced a few inconveniences with inconsistent policies regarding towel replacements and breakfast arrangements. Overall, it's a decent option considering the value for the price paid. 🏨✨

I had a mixed experience at the Bonnington Hotel. On one hand, the food was delicious — especially in McGettigan's — and the staff were friendly and attentive. However, I faced several issues during my stay, including an uncomfortable bed and a shower that didn't function well. Overall, while there were some positives, the negatives significantly impacted my stay. 😕

Rooms

My room was clean but uncomfortable. I booked an 'upgrade', only to find it was two single beds pushed together, which felt quite hard. The bathroom had some maintenance issues, and the air conditioning didn't work, leaving the room uncomfortably warm. Overall, the room was dated and not up to a good standard.
Service

The hotel is located close to many dining and shopping venues, making it quite convenient. However, the surrounding area felt a bit uninviting, which dampened the experience.
Dining

Dining at McGettigan's was a delight — the food was plentiful and tasty. However, my husband's experience was disappointing when he found a bug in his burger at the Croft. While the staff handled it professionally, it definitely left a bad impression.
Facilities

The leisure facilities, especially the pool, were another positive aspect of my stay. However, I had to buy bathing caps to access the pool, which felt like an unnecessary added expense.
