The accessible room was fine except that the shower floor wet room was tiled so nervous when wet. Little supply of room biscuits/ milk/ tea etc. Service at breakfast was very slow and inefficiently done. Pool was fine to use, plenty of changing room space.

Would not recommend, noisy and poor service.
Rooms were noisy, we could everyone in the surrounding rooms. Breakfast service was appalling, no continental items left, no order taken for 30 minutes in which we left due to time restrictions. Pool wasn't child friendly and had a minimum depth of 1.2 meters in which the children couldn't touch the bottom of the pool and no flotation devices were present.

Great hotel
Fantastic stay. Upgrade was well worth it. The receptionist was extremely helpful to accommodate a safe room to store our bikes. Buffet breakfast was slightly lacking choice but service was great. Pool, sauna, steam rooms were excellent and clean but the roof could do with a paint if I was really critical. We would differently stay again and next time I’m different playing golf next time.

Lovely location. nice staff. The problem was that our room smelt musty and damp. The smell infiltrated into the bedsheets and our clothes. Also there was no air conditioning in the room and the window only opened a small amount. It was a very warm day so the room was hot. Unfortunately we arrived at the room late in the evening so it was too late to report and change room

Room was a good size and I thought the bed was a good size until I realised it was two single beds pushed together. Wifi was shockingly bad, but the worst part was the earwax we found on the bed. Wouldn’t go again

This the first time we had stayed at MacDonald Portal (although we have stayed at other MacDonald hotels). The hotel is in a fantastic location and the facilities were really good, and all the staff were very friendly. The check-in arrangements seemed a little chaotic (we had booked with Expedia, but some information had not been passed on to the hotel)? Matt on Reception was however particularly helpful. Breakfast was OK but could have been better. One particular concern was that cooked meats on the breakfast 'self-service' counter were left uncovered by an open door, and there were a number of flies around.... a bit off-putting to say the least. Generally happy with our stay (thanks mainly to the helpfulness of the staff) and I'm sure we'll be back.

This hotel is a great place to stay in a lovely location. We have stayed here on a number of occasions and the only thing that continues to let the hotel down is the service in the restaurant at both breakfast and dinner. They are not attentive and are very slow. This is such a shame but would not stop me staying here again.
