Lovely staff but......
The hotel staff are lovely but the bedrooms do leave a little to be desired, they are very tired looking and need an overhaul, The shower is grubby, the grouting is dirty and the radiator in our room didn’t work, the beds are not comfortable, we complained and they moved us to a family room which was marginally better....all in all it just needs some work doing, we wouldn’t be any rush to stay there again, but the staff are very lovely

Not pleased
After looking through a lot of reviews I was pretty confident that it would be a good place. We were so excited to be in beautiful Kinvara. We parked in the lot in back and the sign over the door stated entrance. I was a little disappointed in the entrance I know it was the back of the building but it could be Mae to look nicer. When we got upstairs. The rugs in the hallway were all stained and entering the room I was very disappointed. It was very dated. The carpets were not in the best conditions and the curtains were dirty and you could smell the dust when opening the window. The bathtub had areas around the shower head that ere disgusting g. They could simply spray bleach and clean it. I was so disappointed We did see a room across the hall when they were cleaning that ones updated. But we were not happy.

Very good hotel in small pretty town
Stayed for 1 night and the staff were very friendly. The room was lovely if not a little dated but in saying that it had all you needed for the great price you paid. The breakfast was great as was the meal at the bar downstairs. Would definitely stay there again.
