The Arches Hotel in Baile chláir

02/04/2024: Aside from an issue with the AC in room (please check yours), the hotel was nice. They changed our room and we're apologetic about the heat the previous night. Pool is nice, small kiddie pool, sauna, steam room and very warm jacuzzi. The showers in pool weren't great as they are using aerated water (part of being sustainable) so the children found it bit sore on their back, it also felt like shampoo didn't rinse out well, but overall it was clean and well kept. The staff were the best part of the hotel so very helpful. The dinner menu in bia could do with a few vegetarian options added, breakfast was self service but you could order pancakes, omelette etc. There were a number of EV charging points behind the hotel and it's located near pharmacy,post offce and supervalu (grocery store). The traffic in Claregalway between 430-6pm was a nightmare. The traffic lights cause a few km tailback from Galway at that time. Nothing to do with the hotel but worth bearing in mind of visiting.
