We stayed at the Auburn Lodge for 3 nights in late April .The hotel rooms are in low rise blocks that extend for some distance from reception .Our room was spacious with a large bed and was well kept by housekeeping.We ate in the hotel restaurant on 2 occasions and although the menu is not extensive the food was excellent along with the service .The bar is very lively with a good food menu and there was entertainment every evening we were there.The location of the hotel just ouside Ennis on the road to Galway,is a good base for exploring the west coast of Ireland .The town centre is just too far for a comfortable walk but we had no trouble parking in the town.I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone
