“Warm & Friendly Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2007

I stayed in the Montague Hotel back in August with my partner. I must say we had a very pleasant stay. We stayed for 4 nights as we wanted a relaxing few days away. Although the hotel was a few miles outside the main town, we found this to our liking as we got away from the hustle & bustle of our everyday routine. We found the staff to be very friendly & very helpful in particular the receptionists & restaurant staff. They helped us with all our enquiries re: what to do & where to go. The food was very good, compliments to the chef. The hotel itself is in need of some refurbishment but as the sayin' goes "Don't judge a book by its cover"! All in all an enjoyable stay.

“never again”

Coach driver had problem finding hotel.
As said by someone previously, there are some rough edges.
This was very evident in our bathroom and must be down to poor quality maintenance. Also wardobe door was just hanging on.
Noise from a wedding party went on all night with youngsters banging on bedroom doors in small hours.
Two drunks occupied reception all night and one 'mooned' our coach as it left.

Staff were pleasent. Food was ok.

“We chose this hotel for its location...”

In a very pretty area and handy for motorway and town of Portlaoise. We chose this hotel for its location. First impression on telephoning the hotel to book was favourable. Pleasant and friendly. Directions to the hotel were sketchy and we spent about half an hour trying to find it. Overall the hotel is disappointing. It is badly in need of refurbishment and is very rough around the edges. However, it was spotlessly clean. In general the staff were very good. The breakfast was just o.k. I don't think we would stay there again.
