We stayed at Foley's for one night and had a bit of a bad experience in the restaurant. On arrival the staff were courteous and we were shown to a clean but small en-suite room which looked out on an industrial staircase and concrete roof. The room was travel lodge style in so far as having the trademark furniture, brown blankets on the bed and the traditional travel lodge bedspread - not much individual character or homeliness, but it wasn't too exopensive so I suppose you get what you pay for.
There were no tea and coffee making facilities even though the room info suggested there should be some - I asked at reception but the staff member just couldn't (or wouldn't) understand what I was talking about thinking I wanted hot water for a cup. So we gave up.
We were afraid that the room would be noisy but fortunately we heard no sound from the bar and restaurant but the radiator in the room never appeared to come on and it was so cold I had to sleep in walking socks and a jumper.
We decided to eat at the restaurant and I went up to the bar to enquire as to the process of ordering food. When I finally got someone's attention I asked do we order at the bar? At the table? Sit anywhere in particular etc. (I am always a very polite person.) The response I got was an exasperated "What?!" as if I was making no sense and the waiter/bar man proceeded to somehow misunderstand me telling me through gritted teeth, a raised tone and on the edge of his temper that he would be with me in 5 minutes - OK?!!!! As if I was being demanding or greatly inconveniencing him. When I tried to explain again, he continued to hiss instructions at me and I went to sit down as I was angrily told to do but was so shocked that I just had to leave. I just would not have enjoyed the meal.
In the morning the same waiter served us breakfast in a totally over the top , friendly manner - I was so uncomfortable I just couldn't wait to check out and go. Sadly it wasn't the holiday experience I had hoped for and I felt very deflated and sad about it.
