Fraudulent reservation for non-existent B&B
There was no stay. I had a reservation for 2 nights, rec'd numerous emails from hotels.com about it (including the one linking to this survey) only to get there and be told the B&B closed in Nov 2022 and there was no lodging to be had. They literally laughed when we walked in. I contacted hotels.com online, only to be told they couldn't help. I spent 1 1/2 hours trying to get lodging for that night (it was after 5pm when we arrived and were turned away). All the 'local' lodging was full. The next night, when we had found a place to stay, I called hotels.com - spent over 1 3/4 hours being put on hold & transferred between people. The first person gave me a hard time for not contacting hotels.com right away, despite my fully explaining the situation - spent over 2o minutes harping on the fact I had checked in and was just now a day later calling the help desk. I again explained there was no check-in to be had and that I had contacted the help desk. I was put on a long hold, then told by 2 different people that I would be fully refunded which was followed by times by another long hold then being transferred again. The last person told me I'd have to contact my credit card company & the best they could do was a $100 coupon towards a future reservation - wouldn't even let me put it towards what was then a current reservation I had a few days later. I will NEVER do business with hotels.com again, and I will emphatically discourage others from doing so. This is FRAUD!

stay somewhere else
Booked the wrong date late on a Thursday night. Sent a special request to update the date to the following Friday which was ignored by the property. Spoke to the owner and they said that since they'd already taken the money they wouldn't change the date without being paid again. Shocking money grabbing exercise. Stay somewhere else.

Hi Paul Your booking came through to us at 12.42am on Friday morning for a room Friday night. Then you sent a request at 8.22am on Friday to change the date of your booking to the same date as you booked originally booked. We were full that night and your room was empty so we had no choice but to charge. I explained to you on the phone that if you had proof of some other date that you informed us you wanted to change to we could have helped you.

Good for a overnight stay to visit Brú na Bóinne
We choose to stay in the property/hotel due to its closeness to the Newgrange site. We wanted to make sure we will be able to enter as early in the day as possible. Brú na Bóinne visitor center is 3 min drive. The hotel is ok. A bit old. We had a specious room for a family of four. Good hot Irish breakfast.

The room was not very clean, I can’t recommend this hotel to anyone. The cost was very high for the quality of the room. I would not have stayed if I realized what condition was. It was located very close to the New grange area to visit so it was convenient for the location.

Surprisingly disappointing
Sorry to offer we were very disappointed with this accommodation. We are mature and seasoned B&B travelers and found Dalys Inn to be nothing but the bare basics. For the same price, we have had lavish rooms, hospitality and pleasantries. Here we found bare rooms, a sliver of a blanket, barking dog for hours and a green light in the ceiling that was far too bright for comfortable sleep. The bartender next door was pleasant enough and gave us our room keys, but there is no warm welcome here and far too pricey for what we did and did not get. Would recommend as a last resort only and I'm saddened to report it this way.

Clean and comfortable but noisy.
All was well except that there was an engine noise which went on intermittently all night. This was in room 9 right at the back of the building - I wouldn’t know if it affected other rooms. I don’t know if it was something like air-conditioning but it wasn’t particularly hot weather. This disturbed our sleep. The site of the Inn was excellent for visiting Newgrange, which is why we were there.
