An organisation I am a part of held our annual conference at this lovely hotel back in May. We were absolutely delighted with all aspects of the venue: the location is convenient to the train station. Although we were a relatively small group (about 85) for the Galway Bay, they treated us with absolute professionalism and ensured that every aspect of our conference was attended to. Niamh Stack provided what I understand was stellar support to our conference planning team and Serge was beyond helpful for our on the weekend needs, both of them ensured that our event ran smoothly & efficiently.
