“The people are lovely”

We recently stayed at The Old Borough Hotel (Wetherspoon) in Swords, Ireland. We booked a double, twin room. It was slightly larger than expected and was relatively newly renovated, quite tastefully.

We recently stayed at The Old Borough Hotel (Wetherspoon) in Swords, Ireland. We booked a double, twin room. It was slightly larger than expected and was relatively newly renovated, quite tastefully. However, room 105 only had a skylight (it opened), and it also had blind that could close the room off in pitch darkness. I would have preferred a room with a window that can be opened. Their marketing never mentions that most of the rooms only have skylights and no windows. The room was stuffy and the skylight walls had mold on them. We asked for another room but sadly they were sold out. Thankfully, we were only there for one night because I am allergic to mold and a second night would have made me sick (stuffy nose, dry throat). I am also annoyed that there are not regular checks for quality in most hotels (i.e., all lightbulbs work) and this place was no different. There was a light out in the bathroom which made makeup application extremely difficult. The bathroom doesn’t have an outlet for the blowdryer, you have to dry your hair in the bedroom, which doesn’t have sufficient lighting near any of the mirrors (also making makeup application difficult). The bathroom does have a heated towel rack but there is absolutely no way to turn it on! There is no coffee maker in the room, only instant coffee/tea, and a kettle. There is no safe, nor is there a mini refrigerator. We had little interaction with staff, but what we did was extremely pleasant.
