Well located hotel, friendly staff
Well located with large range of local pubs and shops. Staff very friendly, easy check-in and free parking at rear of property. Decor quite outdated and bed was not comfortable and quite small (small double not normal double). Good breakfast with plenty of choice

Not so lucky.
The Shamrock Inn is in a great location one street away from the ocean in Lahinch. It’s situated next to the Atlantic which handles check in and breakfast and seems a bit more upscale than the Shamrock but we chose it because we thought it was ocean front. It’s not. Room was meh. It was dark with 1 window overlooking the Main Street and not attractive nor particularly clean. Peeling paint around the window, beds uncomfortable and room wasn’t serviced other than the wastebasket emptied. We stayed 2 nights and loved the town and the restaurant in the Atlantic (which I think is owned by the same team) so definitely stay at the Atlantic because The Shamrock needs a makeover—the people were very nice though!

The lack of an elevator should be made more prominently available. Fortunately this 85 and 75 year old had our son in law with us to tote luggage.

The Shamrock Inn hotel was great! I was surprised because the website and online photos don't do justice to the property... they must be old photos? The rooms are updated and lovely. The restaurant is great for both breakfast and dinner. It's a wonderful location, close to the water, golf course and coastal trail.
