The East End hotel is currently closed as of November 2012. It really needs a huge overhaul if someone is ever going to make a go of it again. Pity as Portarlington hasn't another hotel. It has a good location and plenty of parking but large money will be needed if it is ever to be viable again.

First off, the chap at the check-in desk was playing with his computer on Facebook. Got the keys, opened the door and bang . . . . .back in time to 1990. Room was aged, draughty window, bathroom quite dreary, with a cheap handsoap on the sink. No plug for the sink, and terrible tap fixtures. Carpets were old as... More

After seeing the “smelly feet” review I found myself having to stay in this hotel last weekend. Being a bit of an odd ball I was a little disappointed to find the room freshly painted and bearing no smell of feet! What’s more I met Jody, the manager, and while no oil painting I found him to be courteous and... More
