“Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Leisure center great. Hotels rooms were in bad need of refurbishment. And more time given to cleaning staff.”
Catherine
“Hotel was lovely and clean”
Louise
“Hotel furnishings and decor is badly outdated and in need of a refurbish. The bathroom in our room had been fully renovated but the bedroom itself was very basic and in dire need of an upgrade to it's furniture and decorating etc. The bar service and food was very good and reasonably priced and the breakfast was very good and an ample amount of food was available. The leisure centre was also good and staff were friendly throughout the hotel.”

“Every member of staff was attentive and friendly from front of house to housekeeping, in particular the head waitress at breakfast. She must have been training new members of staff during our stay as they all followed her lead and everything was perfect.The food was excellent at breakfast and at the bar too.”

“We had a lovely stay in the Auburn Lodge, staff were very helpful, and the food in the bar was lovely ????????”
Dolores
“A lovely relaxing break”
Mary
“The staff were so kind and considerate , especially to my mam who was in a wheelchair. The room was warm and clean, the beds and linen were excellent. The shower was beautiful , full of hot water and a powerful jet. We ate in the very nicely decorated dining room , the servers were so attentive,and then we relaxed in the cosy are in front of a beautiful real effect fire . The breakfast was served in a different area and it was very good, we did not sit in the bar but I did go in for a drink and it was dark but very pleasant. My only complaint is that I had so little choice on the menu. I'm a lactose intolerant vegetarian, and not one item on the menu was suitable, so my dinner consisted of a selection of the side dishes. I would expect more from a hotel in this age of plant based hype and general veriety in the dining habits of the public. Especially over the last 4-5 years where it's all the rage. It should be normal to have at least two vegan options . Other than that, our stay was lovely.”
Ana
“Lovely food, friendly staff and we had great break away.”
Barry
“We booked it for my daughters 12 Birthday. The staff were very friendly and so helpful. We rang down for more pillows and towels and the manager brought them up within 10 minutes. The manager came down to the table and wished our eldest a Happy Birthday and came back to sing Happy Birthday. The little touch of a card and box of chocolates left in the room for her was so lovely.”

Aisling
“Our stay here was top notch.the hotel itself is a little outdated in terms of bedrooms/bathrooms but the value for money and kindness of staff well made up for any short-fallings in aesthetics of hotel.There were two ladies working in the restaurant from Philippines and they were just so kind and pleasant to us during our stay.other hotels could learn a lot from the auburn hotel in terms of value for money for families.I would have no problem returning again purely for the value for money.the breakfast spread was amazing.we came as a big group of 3 families and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”
Gillian

Claire
“Nice hotel, a little bit old, but nothing to stop us to have a great time there. We enjoyed the swimming pool. And the staff at the bar were very friendly!”
Paulina
“We found the staff at the front desk so welcoming and warm. Chris impressed us very much with his warm hospitality and friendly manner. We also found Stephen very obliging in the restaurant as we are both vegetarian/vegan. He did everything he could to serve us food that we could eat and enjoy. We are very grateful and will certainly be back again. This is one of our favorite places to stay. Thank you for a very relaxing and welcoming time.”
Catherine

“We arrived friday lunchtime .. No towels were changed and we stayed til Sunday morning ..

But otherwise hotel was good breakfast was great lots of variety hotel was clean and warm”
Sheila

Shirley
“Outside od this hotel looks lovely, although on a busy road the sound is not apparent in the rooms. Past the lobby and bar area it is old and looks dirty and could do with an update, mainly the carpets. Our 1st room we could not sleep in, it looked to be missing a lot of furniture and again filthy carpets and two shaggy rugs either side of the bed which had seen better days and I can only presume hid more stains. We asked to change and the reception staff were brilliant and had us changed on the spot. The second room although smaller, was much nicer and we were happy to stay. The staff in the hotel make it, lovely, welcoming and obliging. The food in the bar is nice, but a tad pricey though for what it was. The restaurant wasn't open when we stayed so I can't comment on that. My partner used the leisure centre and said it was lovely and clean and the staff again were great there. The location of the hotel is good for exploring the west and 5 minutes drive from Ennis Town. Martin the local taxi man was the best, so helpful and a genuinely nice guy. Not sure I would stay here again, but would definitely head back to Ennis.”

Padraig
“The beds were comfortable and clean, the food was good, the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The only negative was the overall decor and hall carpets were tired - could do with a reverb.”
Patricia
“Staff very courteous and helpful, we had dinner in restaurant first night, starter of soup was ok, dinner itself of chicken in sauce with vegetables and mash was gorgeous, and breakfast next morning was ok, but I would stay again if I was in the area”
John
“We had a wonderful stay at the Auburn Lodge, great food and friendly staff, would definitely recommend”
Caroline
“Average hotel , although pretty well run , looked a bit tired in its decor ,from being closed up due to Covid I'd expect, definitely could do with a bit of freshing up ,to attract more guests, breakfast was ok not fantastic ,but plenty to choose from nonetheless, ,rooms were quite clean and tidy ,and staff were friendly I'd rate this around 3out of 5”

“We had a lovely stay. Staff were very helpful & friendly. Good food but same menu every day. I would have liked a change in the specials. Great location for touring different areas of Clare. Thanks.”
Norma
“We had to endure eating our evening dinner in the bar area some times sitting on uncomfortable seats.The dining room menu was on display and it was of a much higher quality than that of the bar menu, unfortunately this menu was not available in the bar.The dining room was closed for our entire stay.We also had to change bedrooms as our first room was sub standard.”
Seamus
“We had a very enjoyable experience at the Auburn Lodge. The rate of €62 was excellent value to include breakfast, room, free parking and use of pool. Róisín at reception was lovely. Mike in the leisure centre was very accommodating. We reserved our spaces in the pool prior to our arrival for an hour on Saturday evening and an hour on Sunday morning. Breakfast was a hot and cold buffet, which was really delicious: full Irish selection of sausages, eggs and so forth, cereals, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, toast, juices etc. Night porter was very friendly too. Nice big window in the bedroom so plenty of fresh air. The ensuite bathroom could be cleaner around the tiles and shower mat - my one observation for improvement. No lifts and some of the rooms are miles away from reception, so request a ground floor room closer to lobby if this affects you.”
Maria
“The hotel provided us with everything we reqiored we had a great evening meak the rooms were laided out nicely”
Gerard

“For the price we paid it was ok, if I had payed the full rate I would of been really angry.

“Fantastic break in the Auburn Lodge . We felt very safe as all Covid guidelines were observed . This hotel has fantastic staff. Super friendly and obliging. A particular mention for Stevie in the bar and Edna who looks after you at breakfast. All of the staff are so helpful and made our stay memorable . The hotel itself is a characterful hotel , nice common areas with comfy chairs . Nice pool and leisure centre. The food is delicious and the staff make you feel nothing is too much bother . Good and efficient service and excellent local knowledge of the area and things to do. Great ambassadors for Co. Clare . We will definitely return again .”

“Staff very nice and helpful but hotel itself very outdated, badly needs renovation, rooms equipment is horrible, what mostly had put me off. Our toilet was more like a public toilet than anything else. Wouldn’t recommend it for the price we paid for our stay.”
Ewa
“Comfortable 3star hotel. Friendly efficient staff. Food excellent, good service and got exactly what was ordered. Good base for exploring Ennis and rest of Clare. Part of hotel could do with a refurbishment sooner rather than later. Otherwise no complaint and had a relaxing stay”

Mervyn
“The staff were the best thing about this hotel, the senior manager was excellent, friendly, professional and he was supported by a welcoming, helpful team. The hotel itself is dated, long walk to room and food was just ok, lacked vegetarian options but worked well as a base for our family holiday and in a summer of rip off prices represented very good value”
Brenda
“All staff were very efficient and friendly. Hotel itself was spotlessly clean”
Denis
“This is our second year to stay there it’s a Lovely hotel but the carpet could do with being replaced. The staff in the hotel are lovely and friendly, and the hotel Is situated in the perfect spot. We had two issues the sheets on the bed were never changed and we were there for 5 nights we did ask for our room To be cleaned and it never was and the second was we ate twice in the hotel for dinner and the food wasn’t hot both night.”
Nicola
“Good location to tour around Limerick and Clare. Staff very efficient and friendly and good quality food.hotel is a little dated and eating facilities could be improved”
Frank
“Great hotel very friendly will be back again food was fab”
Denise
“Could have been 5/5 but for a meal disaster. Meal included in deal (restaurant) was delicious, couldn't fault the food but staff member kept coming over and taking delph/cutlery etc off the table the minute a plate was empty. The disaster meal was in the room where we had breakfast. No effort was made to make the room feel like a restaurant. 3 of us ordered the pasta dish which was tasteless and covered in processed cheese sauce. The garlic bread was the only thing that gave it a taste. Very disappointing. Again the items being removed from the table. Pity as everything else was perfect.”
Celine
“Hotel was quaint, nice pool & leisure facilities, Bath for shower was very narrow twice I nearly fell out. bed was not great, one kind of rolled into the middle once asleep(great for cuddles not so much for sleeping). Staff were friendly. Bar meals & Breakfast was served in the function room it was was like eating at a wedding but without the bride & groom.”
Marc

“Wonderful staff beautiful food and plenty of it, the hotel is clean but badly in need of a make over but it's priced well for what you get. I would definitely return.”
Geraldine
“We stayed here for three nights, this hotel is very dated, dark and it smells. We were put in a room that had an a connecting door to another room which ment we could hear every single sound from the other guests room.Gl got no sleep for the three night's l was there, l had to request a heater because the room was freezing and the radiator in the room didn't work. The menu in the restaurant didn't change and the food was more then disappointing. The staff were not overly friendly and they all looked absolutely miserable. The only highlight to this hotel was checking out. Avoid at all costs.”
Marie
“We stayed in this hotel Mon & Tues night and enjoyed it very much. The staff were really nice and friendly and helpful. We ate there both nights and the food was lovely and tasty and plenty of it. The rooms were clean but a bit tired looking, but overall I would go back again.”

Richard Jnr
“Had a fantastic time with family wish to give thanks to Anita and Stephen who made it special. The strict rules and nature of the pool receptionist kept my family away from pool - did not like the idea of walk through hotel in towel and swimming costumes, not appropriate for adults or young vulnerable children”

Niamh
“While the hotel is slightly dated, the open fireplaces and seating give it nice charm. Bar area is lovely. Room was clean and showers hot. The breakfast was fine - buffet with the usual. Towels are not provided at the pool, so be sure to ask at reception for extra for the room as you must bring down your towel to the pool. Would recommend also bringing your own robe to walk to the pool as none are provided”

Lisa
“Friendly staff but that's about it. Very outdated and not very clean. Worst hotel I have stayed in. Could not check in till after 5, went to bar to get food while we waited, no staff present in bar at all. Our new van got keyed in carpark, you had to bring room towel to swimming and then walk back to room in togs and towel as changing facilities not open. No sanitation stations after the multiple doors you had to go through to get to room, breakfast was very average but bar food was rotten, not very clean. Bar area was ok”
Michelle
“We really enjoyed our stay at Auburn Lodge Hotel ,we had great service from lovely staff, our room was spotless and bed very comfortable. We had dinner on 3 evenings and the food was absolutely delicious and big portions .This hotel is in a great location for sightseeing, there is a Lidl right next door and a lake a short walk away with kayaking .Our 3 night break was great value.”
Marion
“Room was noisy but clean had to buy an extension lead as there was very little sockets had to plug the kettle into the socket beside the bed as there was no where else for it asked for some sachets of milk at about 4 o clock was told housekeeping would bring up to room came down for dinner at 8.30 still no milk then when I got the milk had to carry in my bag all night very hard to get a drink on the Sunday night 3 bar staff on no co ordination was told they were to busy to make any more cocktails had to wait 20 minutes to get a drink breakfast was like warm dinner was perfect”
Maureen
“The room was basic beds were poor for comfort asked for extra pillows and got straight away. Pool was great but could only get 45 minutes at any time. The reason I wouldn't recommend this hotel is the food was so poor asked if they would do a bowl of plain pasta and would not had dinner and breakfast two days and all was very poor quality”
Gerard
“Although hotel decor is outdated and walls paper thin we had a nice stay. Good base for exploring Co. Clare. Leisure centre was good, food nice and staff were lovely. What we got reflects the price we paid so no complaints.”

“The staff were very welcoming & did everything effectively. The only complaint is the bed wasn't made a couple of times. Others than that, I've no complaints”
Sinead
“First the good things. Our room was comfortable and great water pressure in the shower although bathroom decor and fittings could be updated. Leisure centre was excellent. Lots of easy parking and outdoor areas were good. Reception staff were friendly and efficient. And now for the poorer aspects. Restaurant and bar staff were poor and unattentive and seemed to be disinterested in their duties. Guests were allowed to order from the bar rather than table service and move through the bar and hotel public areas without masks and covid guidelines in general were not followed and guests were not challenged by staff. Food in the restaurant was extremely poor in quality and most meals seemed to be reheated. Breakfast in particular was awful especially the hot food with many options simply inedible. Quality of the ingredients seemed to be of a poor standard.”

“While the hotel seems old, we found it ex inviting. Staff and management really on the ball. Very accommodating and responsive to requests. Showed great cop on and very friendly and cheerful. The evening dinner was delicious. We complimented the food before leaving. A very high standard of food. Waiter very helpful and efficient. We will def go back.”
Mary
“Staff really nice, breakfast lovely, rooms and cleanliness very good. I would stay here again. Bathroom needs updating as it was very old. Deliveries and collections for the hotel were very noisy late at night, after 12pm. Maybe they should turn off the engines of the trucks. I would ask for a room on the other side next time, to avoid this noise. Windows don't open wide enough to let enough fresh air in to the rooms.”
Helen
“Very Friendly staff and very helpful. Great location”
Karen
“Loved the stay in the hotel excellent staff great base for seeing many of the sights will be back in the near future”

“Hotel was fine rooms clean and quiet only downside the cooked breakfast was cold.”
Edel
“We had a couple of problems with the rooms The bathroom was not cleaned in 3 days The beds were not made, duvet just thrown on the bed The room was not vaccumed Charged for tea & coffee on 1st night even though it was included in the price My friend found a blue bottle half way through her dinner on the last night, not sure if it flew onto her dinner of whether it was there when served. She wasn't offered a replacement dinner.”
Mary
“Food excellent. Staff very nice. Hotel needs a revamp but fine otherwise.”

Marie
“We have booked into the Auburn Lodge twice in the last month and we enjoyed a very good experience. We are gluten-free and dairy free and found that the hotel did their very best to accommodate our needs. We found the staff at the desk very friendly, welcoming and hospitable which meant so much to us upon arrival. We would like to see an option on menu for vegetarian/vegan food if possible as a choice available as we both prefer this option. Maybe that will be possible at another time. Overall we have been very happy with our stay and with the front desk staff as well as the waiters and young waitresses who served us. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Catherine”
Catherine
“Staff were not very nice one member of the restaurant was nice. Not enough pillows for amount of guests asked at reception for more pillows never arrived covid was used as an excuse for not giving us extra pillows which is totally unacceptable. Over all clean Housekeeping staff very nice.”
Ashling
“Honestly, it wasn't a great experience. The food was only mediocre, the breakfast was genuinely terrible. We ended up just having cereal the second morning. The room was cold and when we asked for the heating to be turned on, they ignored our request the 1st night and sent a heater up the second night upon a second request. There wasn't enough seats in the bar and lounge to accommodate the amount of guests they had, people were standing with their drinks waiting for a vacant table. The hotel wasn't clean. We won't be staying again.”
Vicky
“This hotel is very well located in Ennis to use as a base to enhance your visit to Clare. The hotel itself is fabulous the rooms are spotless and the restaurant and bar food is 5 star with portions that will not leave you disappointed. The staff from the check in to the housekeeping could not do enough for you to make your stay as pleasant so that you really do not want to leave.”
John
“Nice hotel with lovely food. Nice leisure centre. It does need updating but good value for money. All staff were lovely & very accommodating with dietary requirements.”
Charlene
“Hotel room very old fashioned. Unable to use shower because it was in the bath. Staff were extremely nice and helpful especially the lady in charge during breakfast so pleasant and welcoming. The staff for dinner very nice and pleasant except front of house man. He was so rude and abrupt to us and other guests had the sams complaint about him. He told me he was in charge when I asked to speak to manager. Such a shame as all other staff so helpful and pleasant that includes gym and swimming pool staff. Monica cullen.”
Monica
“Staff were ist rate. Very helpful.”
Noel
“The hotel halls and rooms need a revamp.”
Breda
“Not great. Poor breakfast. The cooked breakfast was a buffet and was cold and soggy. The pastries were unrecognisable and inedible. Left waiting with small children for breakfast as everyone chatting inside and we had to call them. Not enough towels. The receptionist was very welcoming and gave a great impression. Money was mentioned in every discussion and it took the good out of it - we know we have to pay at a hotel. Very far walk to rooms for small children. No way to secure the door so impossible to keep children in the room as the door opened out to a fire escape.”
Emma
“Stayed here for 5 nights with my 2 children recently. While the hotel could do with some modernisation, the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The food was lovely and the staff in the dining area were absolutely brilliant they definitely added to the whole experience. Lovely pool area also ..would definitely recommend”
Lisa
“We go to the Auburn lodge every year for our mams birthday she had a special one this year she was 70 and the two girls at reception ciara and allie made it even more special they gave mam a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates with a lovely note. We always enjoy our stay but those girls a credit to the hotel.”

“Room slightly dated, very clean. Some of the corridors fire doors were quite old and narrow. Not wheelchair or buggy friendly. But all around I'd recommend a stay here”
Grainne
“Both of us really enjoyed our stay with you. We found all the staff so helpful and friendly and always ready to oblige. Our experience was very very positive. We actually stayed here on many occasions & also popped in for lunch and/snacks whenever we passed by through Ennis. As we are both gluten-free & dairy free, egg-free and bacon-free it left little to choose from for breakfast but when we asked for extra of what we were able to eat we were delighted to be responded to with generosity & understanding which was so pleasant. For people like us who book in a suggestion might be to have some gluten-free porridge available for those who are gluten-free & maybe some mushrooms//peppers included for breakfast. (When booking in there is a space that asks to mention any preferences but that sometimes gets over looked) Apart from that we have been very happy with our stay. Our room was very clean and we enjoyed a wonderful sleep and stay here. Thank you so much & we look forward to returning again soon! Catherine”
Catherine
“Lovely hotel staff and food excellent”
Patrick
“Friendly staff. Kids had great fun in pool. No changing facilities at the pool. That was kept for leisure club members. Breakfast was a big let down. Had to ask for poached eggs three times one morning and when they finally came out they were hard. The guy at the buffet said the chef was new. You would not get the full Irish because they had trouble keeping the hot plate full. Let down for the kids to. The pancake maker broke. Poor selection of cereals. Over all breakfast poor.”

Ashling
“This hotel is well located on the edge of Ennis town on the Galway Rd. There is a Lidl Supermarket next door which was convenient. The room was comfortable with everything you need, tea facilities good TV, comfortable bed. The decor is a bit dated the pool was great. The breakfast was basic but ok but the evening meal of Roast Beef was awful, tired beef lumpy potatoes raw veg and tastleless gravy. That was the only complaint as such, It was a great value break with the sale price so very satisfied. The young staff were doing their best but the older bar staff were not people/customer aware..All in all would stay again but not my first choice for Ennis”

Sharon
“We've stayed before and always enjoy our stay. I like the fact that parking is right outside the door, easy access to main roads, and you're in the town yet away from the centre. The pool temperature is always to my liking! A friendly atmosphere and good service. We'll be back!”

“We found the hotel very old fashioned in need of a makeover. The service in the restaurant was very bad for dinner. The breakfast was good but lack of variety. The staff were very friendly and the hotel was very clean. The leisure centre was very nice. Catherine Flood.”
Catherine
“Lovely place to stay for families. Staff are wonderful, including the night porter who had was great craic. 2 lovely Asian ladies are in charge of breakfast and couldn't be more helpful. My only complaint was my steak was well overcooked when we ate in the restaurant. We stayed for 5 nights with 3 children and had a wonderful few days”
Paula
“The rooms are very small and boxie, mattress are of poor quality, resulting in a bad sleep. The hotel’s interior looks old and out dated, the evening menu did not change for the 5 nights we stayed at the hotel, that was one off the reasons we got takeaways most evenings.The staff at the hotel are very helpful, with a nice warm welcoming when you arrive to check in, overall I give a 2 for the hotel.”

“Lovely hotel. Lovely staff. Food was also delicious.”
Jennifer
“The hotel is very dated and tired looking, some areas need to be refurbished and painted, some of the staff are very young and while they are keen they will need a lot of training, the way the covid is at present there was no atmosphere about the place, so hopefully when the country opens up more this might improve.”
Pat
“I suppose you get what you pay for. It has potential to be a great hotel, it is a fine size and the staff are lovely. The food was very good. The general upkeep left it down. It could do with a bit of tic. New carpets and a bit of paint would make a lot of difference.”

“Checking was fast and easy, room and bathroom was clean and tidy, and we had a lovely breakfast in the morning. We had a deal so it was excellent value for our money. Thank you.”
Martin
“We have stayed at the Auburn lodge a number of times. This time was great apart from the lack of Covid restrictions in the bar in the evening, people not wearing masks moving around, lack of signage, one of the manager’s wearing a mask under his nose. Also, people were going to the bar, not being told to stay seated and the bar staff did not seem to be cleaning their hands regular, lack of hand sanitiser in the bar also. All of this was a but unnerving. Breakfast on the other hand was very well organised, that seemed to be solely down to the lovely lady who was in charge that morning.”
Derek
“Very warm welcome from reception area great staff during breakfast and dinner excellent service overall”
Brayant
“Hi when we arrived at the hotel the receptionist was very friendly and helpful, however as we walked to our room I felt like I was walking through an outdated nursing home. The carpets were old and green The kids were free but the room was only a double room with 2 single beds stuck in to it. The food was lovely and all the staff were lovely and very friendly. If it wasn't for the staff I would have left. They are a credit to the hotel. I wouldn't recommend it for a family. Regards Elaine”

“The staff were relatively friendly, breakfast was ok but you could be waiting a while for milk or extra toast. Selection was ok not the best I’ve had. There was hair on the bathroom wall on arrival. I didn’t bother to mention it to the staff. Rooms and the hotel I’m general were in need of refurbishment.”

Jennifer
“Stayed for three night weekend. Hotel in quiet location on outskirts of town , a short taxi ride into town, if you don't want to drive . Staff at hotel were very helpful , especially reception staff , nothing was a problem to them .They were also chatty and pleasant when approached. Hotel was very clean in all areas. We had to wait for our room when we arrived , but when we got the room it had a strong smell of bleach , reassuring in this covid era .Clean towels wwere provided every day without request . Food was ok , but menu was same in both bar area and restaurant .Covid regulations were strictly adhered to with regard to social distancing. There seemed to be a staffing issue in the restaurant, especially on Sunday night , when there were long waits for tables and food .My food was cold on another night , and when I complained there was no comeback .The waitress in question left a lot to be desired . I decided before travelling not to use the pool, or facilities owing to covid , so I can't comment on that .aspect of the hotel . There is a lack of communal areas in the hotel , such as a nice bright lobby with comforable chairs .There is a small garden to the rear , but God would somebody fork out for a few tins of paint for the furniture .The paint was peeling off it , and it wasn't even clean .There was also quite a flood on one part of it , but it had rained heavily. Overall ; if you're looking for 5 star service , go to a five star hotel . Top marks to reception staff . Place needs a lick of paint , and someone to keep the restaurant flowing smoothly.”

Everyone did their best to make our stay as enjoyable and safe as possible. Our room was spotlessly clean. We found dinner in the restaurant very pleasant. We would definitely recommend it. Great value. We hope to return also. Stay safe everyone and enjoy Ireland.”

Deirdre
“Food lovely and staff very helpful. However found hotel itself old and outdated and felt our room smelt of damp. Hotel needs refurbishing”
Fiona
“The hotel was very dated. Room was tiny for 2a +2c and the beds were so small and uncomfortable. My husband and I could barely fit in the double so I slept in the spare single (more like a toddler bed to be honest). There was only 1 pillow per person and these are definitely not hotel standard pillows. I had to request more the first evening as I am pregnant. We did not sleep comfortably for the two nights there in the beds. The staff were nice and polite but the service wasn't great at all, constantly having to ask 3 or 4 times for things and with Covid guidelines we were at the mercy of not being able to get things ourselves instead of waiting. We were delighted there was a pool there but when we arrived we were told we needed to prebook which was fine except when we rang as soon as we got to our room, they had no spots left until 2 days later, we had to book in the morning of check out. We ended up going to the local swimming pool as we had promised the kids swimming. If I had to stay here any longer than the 2 nights, I probably would have checked out earlier. Again staff were nice etc but the hotel is in need of a major overhaul and the service needs to be improved. I would not recommend this hotel nor stay there again myself.”
Natasha
“Had a nice 2 nights in Auburn Lodge the staff were very nice and helpful beds were very comfortable”
Carmel
“Nice experience”
Ram
“Hotel was very nice, I really liked the layout and old style of it. Staff at the desk were extremely friendly. However the room we had (family room) was extremely warm. None of the family got sleep because of the heat. We were given fans which unfortunately just spread the hot air. Restaurant staff also forgot drink requests for my daughter's twice, special requests for my wife's meal were also forgotten, my daughter was given the wrong meal and my wife's drink order was wrong too.Tea/coffee/toast at the breakfast service was also forgotten both mornings so we had finished our food by the time our tea/coffee arrived. Overall friendly staff, nice place but I would not return and absolutely not for food.”
Shane
“Really enjoyed our stay Social distancing was well observed .will go again although our stay said 2 course meal inc tea & coffee . Tea or coffee was never offered but we were having wine so didn't push it ,but our food voucher had it included the staff in restraint were at fault .Just an observation .wont stop us from returning”
James
“The hotel was so dusty. Our room was covered in dust even tho it was meant to have been cleaned. With everything that’s going on in the world it’s not acceptable. The only reason I gave 2 star was for the amazing staff they have”

Ann
“Great price for 3 night B&B and 1dinner. The staff are friendly and polite. There doesn't seem to be any fluency between the different hotel areas which did lead to a lot of confusion, delays in service in the bar and restaurant. The pool was fab, the free weight gym area shouldn't be open to anyone in it's current state which was noted to management. There are areas of the decor which need modernizing and freshening up. Alot of new staff, which in time once they are familiar with proceedure will improve the fluent running of the hotel. I wish them well and I hope they make some positive changes which the hotel & staff deserve.”
Adam
“Staff are lovely and very helpful”

Pool is decent. Location is excellent , less than 5 min drive ennis town centre, 45 mins cliffs of moher, alwee caves , lots to do and explore.”

“Stayed at the Auburn Lodge on the 8th of july we had a lovely relaxing stay had a beautiful meal and most of all felt very safe which is very important at the moment i would recomend this hotel to anyone thinking of staying here”

“All staff really nice. A little bit old, but as a general good conditions. Our room was nice, nice beds, soft mattresses and clean. The pool was excellent with all covid-19 restrictions in place. Happy we were there. Will be back in September.”

“The Auburn lodge hotel is a fantastic family orientated establishment. From the reception to the bar staff to breakfast, dinner and room service employees were all very helpful and good natured. The swimming pool facilities were not working on the week of our arrival through no fault of there own. But they more than made up for it with entertainment for our children. Highly recommended.”

“Not a great hotel` 1. No access to the pool before 12.30 on Saturday morning. 2. Had to wait for breakfast on Sunday morning even though i was trying to tell the waitress that my sister was in having breakfast and she had seats at her table for us. 3. Was trying to charge us more on check out for the room.that the price we booked for The bar Staff were lovely - Bar food lovely. However the reception staff not the best The manager did contact us about the pool”

“We love the location of the auburn lodge and this was our second time to stay, our room this time was quite old, the bathroom needs to be renovated, it was very old and grubby. The staff were lovely as always. We will be back but we will be requesting a better room.”
Helen
“I enjoyed Ennis town as a nice base to explore Co Clare. The only reason I am writing this review is that I was really impressed with the genuine warm and charming welcome and treatment from all the staff. From reception to bar and waiting staff and the pool/gym staff they were all so nice and friendly and helpful I was really surprised. I will be back to the Auburn lodge for this reason and would reccommend to a friend or family.”

“The hotel was pleasant and clean though the decor was a bit dated. The swimming pool was well presented but the pool itself was shallow and small. The jacuzzi was perfect and having a children's pool was a God sent. The breakfast was scrumptious except for the coffee that was absolutely horrible. All in all, we would recommend the hotel. The proximity of Ennis and the Cliffs of Moher was great. It was easy to get to Limerick yet we felt we had the best of both world with being in the countryside.”
Westmeath
“Lovely atmosphere in the hotel from start to finish. As a family with three young children, the hotel had all we required, a leisure centre, a child's club & lots of other young children to play with. The staff were most helpful, and the food was tasty. Overall a very enjoyable stay, would recommend. PS - excellent value too!”

“Only stayed one night at the AUBURN LODGE & LEISURE CENTRE but will definitely return . It was just lovely. The staff there it has to be said are excellent, from the girl in the restaurant to the girl in the bar, very welcoming and friendly. Had to rearrange the booking because of flu , the hotel could not have been more helpful , really really nice. Thank you so much for everything !! We appreciate it very much!”

“We stayed for the Patrick's Weekend and we were greatfull for the leisure facilities as it rained all weekend and couldn't get out. The hotel is clean tho' stuck in the 80's with the decor with a strange layout. There is no lift in this hotel so make sure to ask for a groundfloor room if you're not good on stairs.The food was lovely but if you like a medium rare steak ask for a medium to well done as we were given rare to blue and had to send it back. The Staff are very nice and friendly. The big problem we had was we were in a room beside a couple that were fighting...for hours. The walls are so thin it was if they were in the room with us, we could hear every word. The hotel phones were not working and the reception was a bit of a hike away.We didn't want to knock on their door as the man was drunk and verbally abusive as it was. They stopped eventually when a man from another room started banging on their door about 3.30am asking them to stop.”

“Information incorrect on website about children's hours in the pool. When we arrived at 6.30pm we asked where the pool was and we were told that the pool was closed to children at 7pm. I had already checked this out before travelling and it says 8pm on the website. When I told the receptionist this she told me that it does not. I rechecked when I got to the room and it did say 8pm. We went for our evening meal (included) in the restaurant. We weren't offered a wine list or asked if we wanted drinks. That was ok as we weren't too bothered and yes we could have asked ourselves. The food was not great at all. Presentation was fine but I had the chicken and it was dry as a bone. My husband had salmon and it was overcooked too. We were given a password for WiFi but the WiFi didn't work. Faulty wire in bedside lamp and a socket that you couldn't plug anything into. Old style telly. Mattresses could do with updating. I did mention all to the receptionist the next morning and she checked the website for the time of the swimming and could see that it said 8pm and apologised and said she would get it changed. Overall, glad we were only there one night.”
Cora
“We love it ! As a short break here in Ireland, it's hard to beat. Close proximity to tourist areas, close to town, and has ample parking. The food is great, the staff are very welcoming and the leisure centre goes down a treat with our lot. We have no complaints!!! We have been before and will be back again!”
Anne-marie
“Excellent and relaxing two night stay. We ate in the Restaurant both nights and enjoyed all the food. Whilst the choice of wine is limited we were very pleased with our chosen wines and found them compatibly priced and in fact cheaper than most restaurants we have used. It is slightly out of town but plenty of parking in Ennis, reasonably priced. The staff were also very pleasant. Would have not hesitation in coming here again.”

“On arrival the lady at reception, Helena I think is her name, was very welcoming and friendly. She even offered us an upgrade on our stay which was fantastic. The room was lovely very comfortable, clean and tidy. We also visited the Spa where we had massage treatments which were very relaxing and the staff really friendly to talk to. Our meals, dinner and breakfast were both lovely, but I found the service a little disappointing. On arrival at the restaurant we were told they had no table booked for us which we had booked earlier at reception. Thankfully this was resolved as our stay included a meal. We were asked while ordering our food would we like drinks but I had to ask for a wine menu. We were also asked if we would like to wait a few minutes for our main following our starter by one of the servers but were then served anyway by someone else. The following morning for breakfast again they were busy and had no table so the lady asked us to wait in the lobby. During our wait I saw several guests coming and going and the lady never came to inform us there were tables. My partner had to go back up and ask had something come available. Overall a lovely hotel and visit, just slightly disappointed with the service on a couple of occasions.”

“Great hotel lovely and warm great food great staff”
Martina
“The hotel in general was OK and the staff were pleasant apart from the manager who couldn't be bothered to greet you even when you greeted him first. We had booked two nights and a meal with ours but the menu was very limited, Our main course was so poor that we sent it back twice and in the end we gave up and bought crisps from the bar. The cutlery on our table was dirty with residue and the plates in the breakfast room in the morning were dirty too. You had to sort through a few to find a clean one.The rooms were OK but we had an upgrade which I was glad of because it nothing to write home about. The Spa was ok just a bit small, so you need to select the best time of the day to go as it can be busy. We went here for a special occasion and we went into the town for that meal on the first night, if we had gone to the hotel restaurant that night we would have not stayed, we would have gone home. We checked out with the happy manager and he couldn't be bothered to ask us if we enjoyed our stay, I asked him if everything was in order and he said "yes, goodbye". At least he said something I suppose? We were very disappointed overall and would not return again.”

“We stayed the last weekend in August on a 2 night package which included breakfast and dinner. We found the staff in all areas very friendly and professional. We loved the idea of eating dinner in the bar or restaurant. We have to say the bar food would be our first choice good menu with a choice for all. This hotel is a great base for travelling around.”

Cora
“Beautiful stay, room was lovley food was great restruant and hotel staff were fantastic. We found that on our first night the pool attendent was a bit OTT and unfriendly in approach. coming out to the pool area every couple of minutes to stop the kids jumping in the kiddies pool or splasing arond or not using the steps to get in or out. A bit OTT as there was a 6 year old and a 2 year old and both parents in the water looking after them and no one else in the kiddies pool.”

“Nice clean Hotel, with very friendly staff, and delicious evening meal. The Leisure Centre is very adequate also, which my son couldn't get enough of.”
Jaybes
“The staff are what stood out most during our stay at the Auburn Lodge, each and every one of them were pleasant, friendly and helpful. The food was good and the service was amazing. The hotel itself needs modernisation but was spotlessly clean. Its a little outside Ennis town but walkable in about 20 minutes. The leisure centre looked pretty new and again was really clean with great staff. Good value for money, would definitely stay again, thanks for all.”
Maggie
“We stayed at the hotel for two nights in June 2015. The booking was made on the morning of our arrival. We arrived at 2 o'clock and the check-in was handled efficiently (although one of the door cards didn't work subsequently) and the room was ready for occupation. The room was clean (although we had to walk 140 yards within the building itself from the reception to the room - it helped eliminate some of the calories from the breakfasts) but the room was not overly warm particularly as the weather was not Junelike. The package included one evening meal and this was served in the bar. The menu choice was very good and the food itself was also very good (although there was a delay in having the order processed). The breakfast was very good and again it had a good selection of food. We did not use the Leisure Centre.”

“Lovely hotel,very gud value for money!very friendly staff..food in restaurant was ok but it was included in our deal so we couldnt complain..portugese guy in restaurant was vry friendly and couldnt do enough for us..rooms were clean and modern,hotel pool was nice and staff wer lovely.hotel reception staff very helpful and friendly.only fault was the walk to our room,it was a long walk through many corridors.would definitely stay again”

“QUIET NICE”

“my wife and i stayed here for a 2 night stay at easter and found the reception staff very friendly and helpful.the bar staff were most efficient and pleasent. however the restaurant staff were a completely different story , we were booked in on a 2 night b&b package which also included a 2 course dinner on both nights , we were questioned constantly about what dinner package we had and made to feel as though we were getting something we were not entitled to , this was all played out in front of other paying guests , most embarrassing . if you wish to stay in a relatively comfortable hotel and enjoy a quiet drink but do not wish to dine in the restaurant then its adequate . i know we will never cross the threshold again.”
Liam
“Hotel was warm and the room, a I had requested, was a recently refurbished one-big comfortable bed, nice bathroom and we had everything we needed, tea and coffee making facilities etc. We had hoped to use the leisure centre but didn't get around to it. The clientele in general were older in the hotel, but this didn't matter. The staff were friendly and helpful esp the breakfast staff who were most attentive. The hotel dÃ©cor in general is a little tired and dated but all in all we had a pleasant stay.”
Emily
“Food was nice. The rooms were horrible and we were literally put right at the back of the hotel. There was a horrible smell in our room when we first went in and when my 3 year old opened the wardrobe there was 2 empty boxes of Jameson and an empty box of sex toys in there. So the rooms weren't cleaned properly at all. The swimming pool was lovely and warm but the changing rooms were dirty. In fact, when I checked out I felt like we all needed a good scrub after staying there. Would never go back.”

“A very dated hotel. Decor seriously needs some updating. Leisure centre excellent but no toys in the pool or the hotel for children. Not a family friendly hotel. More suited to older people. Staff friendly and helpfull. Food was lively and very generous portions. Location is excellent for touring around the counties and loads to see on Clare. But if I went again I'd stay somewhere else.”

“Our original room we got was very dated and plain but we got moved to newer room and it was lovely only bed very small. Towels changed every day which was great. Food in bar good but not as much a selection off food in restaurant.staff were okay apart from. Mairead and enya they lovely and very helpful. The drink at bar wasn't the greatest at all. But overall we enjoyed our stay and will visit Co Clare again..”

“Booking very easy to use. Had been before and were looking forward to going back. Everyone very helpful and nothing was a problem. Lovely atmosphere. My husband said the bed was one of the most comfortable he had been in, had a great sleep! Loved the spacious double room as were given. Food was grand, only disappointment was the tea/coffee wasn't offered after dinner ( and I didn't like to ask). Great to have playroom always open for toddlers use. Excellent supervision at the pool. Will be back in the future! Definitely good value for money. Many thanks for a relaxing break”

“I could not find a single fault with this Hotel. All the staff were nicer than each other . The food was wonderful. Even the bacon for the breakfast was unique. I never tasted nicer. The bar was wonderful with free entertainment provided. We had a wonderful dinner on the evening we arrived. My husband asked if he could get plain chicken instead of chicken curry and it was no problem. By far the nicest hotel I ever stayed in”
Martina
“Stayed here over the week end. Staff were all very friendly and helpful....I asked for an iron and it was delivered within minutes as was the fan that I also requested. Room was clean and comfortable although the only gripe I had was the distance from reception, restaurants and bar to the bedroom. it was a long hike! Food in both the bar and restaurant was lovely and was served quickly. I was a little disappointed in the breakfast offered...no fried egg, beans or mushrooms. Entertainment on both nights in bar.”

“Room only OK sheets stained.Keys would not work despite changing them twice.Seemed to be a lot of staff but none of them willing ti ask if we needed anything while sitting in the foyer for over an hour.And lastly at breakfast the plates on the warmer were Burning hot and dangerous.I know in all deals kids go free but in 4 years and 6 or 7 stays in various hotels we have NEVER been charged for Kids breakfast.which was a slice of toast each and a 10euro charge. NEVER AGAIN...ANONYMOUS”

“Very very impressed. Staff were very courteous, helpful and in good humour. The room was very clean, comfortable and well presented. Enjoyed our time in the leisure centre - once again the staff were very helpful and even lent us a couple of swim hats. Would definitely recommend to everyone and would like the opportunity to go again.”
Maddy
“I stayed at the Auburn Lodge last weekend with some friends and cannot say I would return there. The location of the hotel was outside the town but this did'nt matter as it gave us a nice walk into town. I have stayed in many hotels around Ireland on Lidl breaks, on Saturday night we asked for Cappucino coffees on finishing our meal about 9pm and were informed the machine had been cleaned for the night and none was available, I found this hard to believe being a hotel with a bar where I would expect people driving to perhaps order coffee, also the desserts on offer were not memorable. All in all I was disappointed with my visit. KH”

“Pros:comfortable beds; nice shower; quiet; Cons: baby pool was very cold; light fixture broken in the bathroom; We all disliked the food and very little vegetarian options; We had 2 lots of stairs- difficult with baby. Overall this hotel was ok- I wouldn't be returning in a hurry though!”
Gra
“For a 3 star hotel there are of course certain things I don't expect. But saying that I expect my cups in the bedroom to be clean, not stuck to the plate with left over coffee. I expect hot water when I wake up in the morning in my room - not to have to wait over an hour on a maintenance man and my only option being told to go to leisure centre. Hotel pool closes to kids at 6.30 in the evening which is much to early - we spent the day out and were looking forward to going to the pool when we returned. And when we did get in - 2 lanes closed for swimmers and lessons going on as well didnt leave much room for anyone else. And yes - canned fruit for breakfast, not really appealing. How you were treated with extra asks seemed to depend on the staff member - my porridge brought happily on the first morning but waiter not so pleasant about having been asked on morning number 2.”
Family
“I didn't find the hotel to be all that clean. my 1year old found a false nail under one of the beds and very nearly put it in her mouth. The travel cot provided, didnt have a mattress and only realised it the following morning, iyt was just the base, the part you use when folding up the cot. Which explained why my 1yr old didnt sleep very well and actually spent most of the night in bed between myself and my husband. Food was ok enough. Pool was only open to children from 10am, and turned out swimming lessons were on (saturday morning), so access was to a small section of the pool, disappointing. I won't be going back!”
Olivia
“My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience in the Auburn Lodge Hotel & Leisure Centre. The staff, were courteous, friendly and very helpful, the food was excellent, both in the morning and evening and the facilities in the Leisure Centre are excellent. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would have no hesitation in recommending the Auburn Hotel & Leisure Centre as the perfect destination for anyone looking to take a Hotel break-away.”
Patrick
“We stayed in the hotel over the St Patricks weekend with our two kids. Our first impression was disappointing as the hotel decor is quite dated. However, it didn't impact on our stay. Our room was clean and the kids beds were better than other hotels we stayed in. We had a 2 course dinner in our package and the food was good. Only criticism was that we'd prefer the sauce and gravy on the side (The food was swimming in the gravy). Breakfast was good and I can't believe some of the other reviews about it. We got both tea and coffee pots and plenty of toast. I even asked for a second basket. The kids loved the hotel. The swimming pool was a nice bonus. Entertainment in the bar was disappointing for the St Patricks weekend though. All in all a very enjoyable break and we'd come back on a similar deal. PS Staff were very nice and helpful. Liam”
Liam
“Nice friendly staff. Rooms very basic but clean enough. Unfortunately, the decor is very dated and badly in need of a make over. We spent St Patricks weekend there and the entertainment in the bar left a lot to be desired. Bar food was not great ( I had some dodgey prawns) Breakfast was delicious though and the swimming pool saved the weekend for us as two children loved it. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

Maria
“The hotel is quite old and while cleanish not to a very high standard. Things like cracks in tiles in the bathroom and the bathroom sink are things which I feel should and need to be addressed by the hotel. The staff who looked after us were very friendly and the meal service that evening was very nice. The same I cannot say for the breakfast in all my years staying in a hotel the breakfast was a disgrace. We arrived for breakfast the next morning I like to have fresh fruit with yoghurt (low fat). The fruit consisted of canned pears and prunes (only) the yoghurt was in big bowls with no lids on top very unhygienic needless to say I had none. We asked for tea and coffee any hotel I have ever stayed in would give you a pot of each we received a small cup of cold tea and cold coffee. We asked for toast and were give white bread toast no offer of any healthy brown bread and two slices only when there was two of us. I asked for pouched eggs the girl went to get them and I am not joking within 30 seconds the eggs were in front of me. They were not pouched and they were cold. I could not eat them as I am allergic to some oils and could not take any risk eating them as I believe they were fried. I asked for beans 3 times eventually them came out and guess what freezing like they came straight from the tin. The breakfast was disgraceful I have to say I will not be staying in the hotel again. Oh yes we had to ask for plates as there was none for anyone wishing to have breakfast from the buffet.”

Sandra
“A country hotel used by country people when they come to the city or have a local occasion. The interieur is rather oldish but everything is clean and personnel is friendly and helpful. The hotel is good for a stay in Ennis - I would not go there just for the hotel though but if I had to stay in Ennis overnight again I would go back here. The location is quiet and at the outskirts of the town. A bit too far to walk to the city centre, especially in the rain. Food was surprisingly nice in the restaurant. The bar only had carvery (even in the evening). But I think this is all the locals want.”

“We stayed in a family room for 2 nights in August. The room was very small compared to other family rooms we have stayed in. The carpet was very dirty and the window could have done with a clean. I was disgusted when I saw mould and mildew on the frame of the window. We all felt it was stuffy in the room and also the window didn't open out fully. The room was very dusty and looked like it had not been properly cleaned in a while. We felt the staff were not very friendly and welcoming especially at reception, no smile on arrival or departure. The breakfast was nice, can't really fault with the selection of food available. Overall the hotel needs a revamp, the reception is a little outdated and needs brightening up. I could not recommend this hotel to a friend and I will not be returning there in the future.”

“Stayed for a 2 night break, very disappointed in the rooms they were very out dated, food was very poor, breakfast choice was very limited. It stated on the internet that there was entertainment every night however there was none on either of the nights we stayed there. Life guard in the pool was very strict could not even splash in the pool without being spoken to!!!!!! Would never stay in this hotel again”

“We stayed at the Auburn lodge and leisure centre for 4 nights this July and had a great holiday. We toured the surrounding area by day and at night returned to the hotel and enjoyed the music in the lounge. The rooms were clean with crisp white bed linen. The breakfast was tasty and staff friendly. Overall we felt we got very good value on our holiday.”
Michael
“On arrival we had to navigate the vomit outside the entrance. Constant noise at night which appeared to come from the plumbing for the leisure centre. More seriously, we observed every day, and evening, that some fire doors were propped open, sometimes by fire extinguishers. This occurred all over the hotel, as we observed when going from our rooms (512, 513) to reception. Mary R Ford”

“We, a family of 2 adults and one child, spent 2 nights in the Auburn Lodge recently.We booked a package which included 2 B&B +2 dinners. We booked online through Lidil. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very acceptable, evening meals were of excellent standard.The pool area is of a high standard.The bedroom was clean apart from a couple of marks on the carpet and the beds were comfortable.The bathroom, while clean, was in dire need of a revamp.Its oppressive looking dated and dark tiles sream out for urgent attention!On the whole our stay was enjoyable and proved to be excellent value for money!I would reccommend The Auburn Lodge for a pleasant budget stay.”

“I have to start off by saying that the staff were lovely, particularly the girls on checkin. Breakfast was only ok. Cereal, limited fruit and hot breakfast was available. I was a little disappointed with the rooms. We were on the ground floor of which is obviously quite an old hotel. The reception area is lovely but the rooms are so dated. There were black bags left around the corridor on the way to our hoteo room. The grout on the tiles in the bathrooms are covered in mould. The curtains were extremely dusty and the carpets could do with a wash. Its a pity because a little TLC and this could be a lovely hotel. Hotel is severly let down by its upkeep. Unfortunatly i would not be in hurry to stay there again.”

“Very comfortable spacious room - quiet pleasant surroundings but hotel starting to feel it's age inside. 3* Staff excellent in lobby, restaurant and leisure centre. Also cleaning staff were helpful and accommodating. 4* Breakfast was self-service buffet which is always bad, not helped by poor quality of ingredients. The dinner we had was enjoyable and very plentiful. 3* The bar was excellent with live traditional music on the Friday night. 4* This hotel gets the important things right and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt it was tremendous value. I'll give it 4/5 overall.”

“Spent two nights in the Auburn Lodge recently. Was impressed. Very clean. Room spacious. Food excellent - portions rather too large for my liking but that is a good complaint. One will definitely not be hungry there!”
Nell
“Lovely Hotel. Excellent food and some of the most friendliest staff I have met in the Hotel trade.”
Jason
“Stayed for two nights in Auburn Lodge, the staff were not very friendly, we got back to our room at 2:00pm on the 2nd day to find that it had not been cleaned, while there a member of staff knocked on the door to find out if we needed fresh towels, of course we did as there were only two towels there the first night. Food was just ok, would not stay there again”
Mary
“We really enjoyed our stay in the Auburn Lodge & Leisure Centre. The bedroom was warm & comfortable. The staff were very helpful, friendly & efficient. Breakfast was very good. We also had the carvery dinner on the Saturday evening - there was good variety, it was very tasty, large portions & excellent value for money. The Leisure Centre was beautiful, with a great swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna & steam room - we tried them all! Yes, I would stay there again.”
Agnes
“We stayed in the Auburn Lodge hotel during a very busy weekend in May. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was good (specially the chicken curry!) We were in a family room and needed an extra fold-out bed as we had 3 kids - the fold-out bed was quite sagging in the middle, but did the job. The room was a small bit cramped, but we spent very little time in it so that didn't really matter. It was a very long winding walk to the room from reception, so we had a bit of exercise built in to our stay!! The only issue we had was the shower was not hot enough. Overall we were happy and would stay again.”

“We enjoyed our stay at the Auburn Lodge Hotel. The staff were very friendly and the food was to a good standard. However the rooms were tired looking and badly in need of refurbishment which was disappointing”
Deirdre
“I would recommend it for people not bringing kids, just going to see the attractions. Found the staff to be really friendly and helpful, location was great for the local attractions ie Cliffs of Moher and Aillwee Caves. Food in restaurant was fantastic and the waiting staff well I couldn't say enough, made sure the children where not waiting for their meals, had a bit of banter with them, really a delight to see staff so friendly. Rooms where dated but comfortable. Found they didn't cater much for children - Family room consists of 2 single 1 double bed, children had nothing to do inside Hotel .. no kids TV channels and the play room wasn't up to much a few colours and pages and a few dated toys.”
Leone
“Really enjoyed our stay. Totally impressed with staff....most helpful and friendly, especially at reception!”
Claire
“We had a lovely stay in The Auburn Lodge for the new year. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We went to banquet on New Years Eve and we had a great time the food, the Casino and dancing was excellent. I would recommend this hotel for a nice break.”
Anne
“Nice, comfortable hotel. Swimming pool and jacuzzi good. Kids loved the Barney Play Centre that we got passes to. Our room on the first night was very noisy so we were changed on the second night. They gave us a complimentary bottle of wine for the inconvenience which was unexpected and lovely!”
Gillly
“Hotel stay was pleasant. The Dining area and food were great. Although the portions were massive and I felt that it was somewhat wasteful to send out such huge portions. The leisure centre, foyer etc all looked cosy. The bedroom was dated but clean with everything in working order. The only negative thing was that the hotel was cold and I couldnt really relax in the lounge area because of this. The bedroom was even colder but When i told staff they put on the heating straight away and that was fine Only some of the radiators were on throughout the hotel. This to me is a big thing a warm hotle is alot more inviting than a cold one. The staff very friendly and helpful”
Jane
“Booked in for Sat night the receptionist was lovely room was basic but comfortable the bar staff were not good at theirs jobs food was ok honestly would not stay there again and I don.t think it is a three star hotel”

“We had a brilliant stay at the hotel...Staff friendly, very family friendly and our boys really enjoyed the kids club..We will definatly stay again..”
Lucinda
“We enjoyed our stay in the Auburn Lodge. Highlights were the friendly staff, tasty food and nice, clean, modern swimming pool. Slight downsides were the room was very small and hot, in bad need of a lick of paint and all the surfaces were dusty and could have done with a thorough cleaning and some new furniture. The room was on the ground floor and window opened on to the car park, so we couldn leave it open for the room to air during the day. We were also conscious that all our belongings were visible from the car park, and the safe in the room didnt work, so we ended up bringing our valuables everywhere we went, which was a minor nuisance. The main areas of the hotel were much better maintained. We ate in the oyster restaurant twice and enjoyed the food which came in unbelieveably huge quantities. Service was friendly but took ages to clear tables. On the first night we ate dessert with the vegetables from the main course still on the table. Still, on the whole this was good value and enjoyable. We would consider staying again, just slightly put off by the size and condition of the room.”
Carberrys
“was very pleased with the hotel my kids enjoyed the pool and the breakfast was nice and staff friendly room standard enough but served it purposes would stay here again”
Chris
“Rooms bit chilly! Food amazing! Great for families - kids club was amazing , pool lovely Staff very pleasant and great with kids Wifi not strong - no signal in room and only one section of the bar”
Aoife
“The Aibirm Lodge Hotel is in need of updating, the plaster on the walls in the bedroom was peeling in places and the tiles around the bath had been recently replaced but the grout was not cleaned off them! The staff were extremely helpfull both on receiption and in the restaurant however the bar could do with extra staff as service was very slow most of the time due to the lack of staff working. While our stay was pleasant, I would not recommend the hotel for a stay but definately for dinner in the restaurant.”
Gina
“An absolutley appalling stay - food poor bar service poor. A disco held in the hotel was badly managed we moved our own cars as we saw the car park fill up with drunken youths - no advice from the hotel on where we had parked might not be safe. Our rooms backed onto the disco - not great for a family. At throwing out time we were woken by a couple trying to fornicate on our windowsill, a fight in the car park followed, football chants with bad language were sung for a good while. i wish i could mark it a minus!”
Richard
“Staff top notch to be honest , rooms could do with being updated but rooms were kept clean . Not much for children to be honest giving the area were hotel is a pull for familys is to have something for the kids to do kids club etc . Outside play ground is badly needed and to update the games/play room. Leisure centre is fine .Food could do with going Back to a basic menu and bang out the flavours from that menu .Carvery food/menu had a better range of flavours and food compared to the restaurant . Would go back if above was updated for kids as it is a good base for travelling.”

“Just spent the May bank holiday weekend in the Auburn. Two Adults and Two Children. We had a fantastic time, ALL the staff were brilliant there and the Food was excellent. We loved the Pool and Jacuzzi. The Only drawback is (and its a very small thing), the bathroooms are a bit dated, but our room was spotless. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND A STAY AT THE AUBURN LODGE - IT WAS EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY, AND WE WOULD DEFINATELY GO BACK AGAIN.”
Jo
“Hotel a bit dated and a bit run down. Could do with a cash injection to bring it up to date. Walls a bit bare, lamps and lights not working, bed a bit springy, carpets a bit worn, internet station out of order, sauna out of order, Having said that it was clean, the breakfast was good and the staff were always pleasant”
Susie
“Nice Hotel, Warm friendly staff, rooms would benefit from a refresh but were clean, warm and comfortable. Family rooms great value for money, didnt get time to check out the pool but the playroom was a little disappointing but at least an alternative to having children in bar or foyer. Would stay there again. Family of 7”

“Cute hotel - boutique style. Good food. Staff all very nice. Really enjoyable stay.”

“Friendly staff, good facalities, highly recommended”
Aw
“Basic room, great gym and leisure center, excellent food in the bar and restaurant, great value for money, very friendly and polite staff. Would definitely go again!”
Claire
“Was quite disappointed with the room and particularly the bathroom in the Auburn Lodge Hotel. While the foyer, bar and restaurant are all fine, the rooms could do with some serious updating. The bathroom in particular was not quite up to standard, the bath mat which was hung over the bath was filthy and obviously had never been cleaned. There was also a shower curtain in the bath, which is not very hygenic. Would not stay here again.”
Katherine
“Really enjoyed the stay, staff were very friendly and helpful”
Ger
“My wife and I were very happy with our stay at the Auburn Lodge, ideally located, friendly staff, and a satisfactofy leisure centre. A few minor problems with the room in relation to the fixtures and fittings but nothing to worry about. overall an enjoyable experience.”
Eugene
“We found the family room at the hotel very tired and dated, almost neglected. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful but the serving staff in the bar left a lot to be desired. They were never on hand to serve the customers. The swimming area was clean but the changing rooms were cold especially for young kids. The location of the hotel is good for drivers using the hotel as a base but for those who want to visit Ennis, it's a taxi journey to Ennis town centre.”
Alan
“went here for the new year with my extended family had a great time pity playroom is under refurnishment when finished hopefuly it will be great for kids is very child friendly and you need that when bringing children to hotels”
Therese
“Stayed in the Auburn Lodge Hotel for the New Year it was lovely. We really enjoyed the break, the rooms were spacious, the staff very friendly and the food was delicious!!”
Colette
“Fantastic. food great. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pool and leisure facilities very good and clean. Really enjoyed it. Will be going back.”
Miriam
“My family and I stayed at the Auburn Lodge Hotel in November for one night. We found a very friendly welcome when we arrived and the family room was quite small but clean and comfortable. We ate that evening in the bar and found the staff extremely efficient and friendly. The food was great and very good value, we enjoyed it immensely. The atmosphere in the bar was very comfortable and warm. We ate breakfast the next morning and found it very tasty and the staff were again very efficient and friendly. Overall we thought the hotel accomodation was quite basic, however the warm atmosphere and the friendly staff made up for that. I would recommend it.”
Clodagh
“Very comfortable, clean and cosy hotel. Staff very obliging; food very good. Could do with a 'touch up' of doors along corridors and, all in all, a very pleasant stay.”
Brioc
“Food was lovely but could do with a bit more choice for breakfast. Got a terrible room when we arrived it was dirty looking it was in old part of hotel. They advised me these rooms were there family rooms as i had two infants. Went to reception for the second time and asked to be moved to another room and we were then moved to a lovely clean room. Final point to make pool was very cold for infants. Regards Bridget”
Bridget
“Our one night stay in Auburn Locge Hotel was good, location was perfect for what we wanted. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our bedroom was quite far away & we had to walk through several corridors, also no lifts The accomodation was very basic & we felt the room was a bit cold but it was clean. We stayed in family room which had a double and 2 singles. The pool was great for the kids. Overall we had a value weekend which is thanks to Lidl.”
Bea
“We have just returned from one night in the Auburn Lodge Hotel and I have to say that although the rooms and decor is quiet dated the hotel is very clean and the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. When we arrived they did not have our booking but proceded to check us in without haste. Having worked for an internet hotel booking company I knew this meant that there would be problems at check out which there were when they requested %u20AC100 from me. However I explained that I booked through Lidl and forwarded them the email and they charged me what was due. This didn't bother me as I'm familiar with the systems and knew it was easily rectified but I could see how other people would be very bothered by it. Overall it was great value for money and perfect for what we required, would return if we are ever passing through Ennis again.”
Miam
“this was our second time staying we had a lovely weekend. The staff are very nice room was clean and the food was lovely would go back again very good value. Catherine Reilly”
Catherine
“Most of the Staff is very friendly and the leisure center is very new and nice. Donwside is the location and the hotel.”
Thomas
“We really enjoyed our Lidl weekend break in Ennis. The staff were very helpful and very pleasant at all times. When the newspapers were not available for me on the Saturday morning, a paper had been reserved for me on the Sunday morning without request.. The food was good and any extra request was pleasantly adhered to without question. The hotel itself is a little old fashioned and the room basic but at such good value, this was not an issue. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and have no complaints. I would give it a 4 star as we were not expecting it to be quite as far outside Ennis as it was and it could do with a little updating in its decor. Thank you.”
John
“Auburn Lodge,never again.Arrived at 5.30pm on St Patricks night.Given keys for 3 rooms which still had guests staying in them.Shockingly unprofessional.One word to describe this Hotel,"grubby".No way is it a three star,maybe one.We were booked for 3 nights and stayed for one,couldn't wait to leave.On the plus side we had a good night in Ennis itself in Brogans pub. Alex Ryan”
Alex
“Staff were very friendly and helpful. Accomodation was basic enough but clean, stayed in family room which wasn't huge by any means but had a double and 2 singles. pool was great for the kids. would definitely stay there again.”
Darren
“Auburn hotel is a reasonable hotel and offers a great value for money break. They do need to train their staff about the terms of offers and to ensure they advise customers of changes. In our case the restaurant was closed and meals were served in the bar but neither reception staff or bar staff were clear on this. Leisure centre very nice and we enjoyed our stay”
Gerrym
“we had a lovely time the staff were very nice the food was good weather was beautiful that weekend leisure centre lovely only complaint was bed not the best the lidl break value thanks a lot ”
Catherine
“Hi, Lidi Breaks are very good value,but was dissapointed in the Aubran Hotel . Checked in and was not told anything about the facilites in the hotel had to ask about times for breakfast ,swimming,dinner times.Family room was very basic and small and the view was terrible dirty nappies outside the window.Had major problem with the bar drinks ,we order some drinks and had to return then twice was horrible. My husband left a hoodie on the seat and went for a cigarette when he came back it was gone 60 euro worth of a hoddie. Went to reception but were not helpful at all.Also had no tv all of sat nite.Wont be going back there again.”
Rosemary

Kate
“Lovely hotel but unlucky for us our bedroom was so far away because the hotel was full we had to walk through several corridors which took us several minutes also no lifts so dragging baggage was a pain food was excellent no wifi in room or no air condition ”
Biddyrose
“The room had all the neccessary facilities needed for a night's stay. Being a bargain break we were a bit apprehensive about the dinner but were pleasantly surprised....an excellent meal. Very friendly helpful staff. Overall this deal was fantastic value.”
Nollaig
“Tired hotel in serious need of some TLC. Room reasonably clean, dirty saucer, large safe not even secured on the wardrobe floor. Couldn't get it to work even with staff member coming to look at it. I worked it out after the barman left that the batteries were virtually dead preventing it from working. The remote control for the tv was having the same problem. Half the seating in the bar was small round tables & stools so unless you get into the bar at the right time it was very uncomfortable to eat a meal. Not many of the staff were friendly, they basically ignored you. Restaurant food (serving breakfast was very basic) although the bar food was good.”
Kathy
“staff friendly, food very good, swimming pool good.room clean and comfy.hotel generally a bit tatty round the edges but overall had a great value weekend and all the important things were good.”
Snaj
“staff were friendly. Bed in room was very poor. children's food expensive. ”
