Whilst the Hotel claims 4 stars,we were disappointed with dining options,accessible bedroom limited seating,bathroom was excellent.It would be difficult to get a wheelchair into the bedroom
We arrived very early so the room wasn't ready understandably, they took our number and phoned us as soon as it was, which was 2 hours before check in. Room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and hot
Great stay in the Newpark with loads to do for kids. The dining room could do with some work with upholstery and carpet well worn. But overall a great stay, really good food and super for kids!
If you're a couple having a relaxing weekend away I wouldn't book this hotel.
If you're a family with kids it would be a great hotel to stay in.
Booked for a couples weekend since I saw it was 4 star and had a spa so it ended up not being a very relaxing hotel experience but it was fine since we were out most of the time.
The hotel is located in a great area and was very comfortable to stay in. You could tell the staff was overworked as the majority of them were short and not super friendly. The perfume/cologne smell in the lobby is incredibly overwhelming and had several guests commenting on it near us.
Newpark hotel was our last stop on our road trip through Ireland and it was a great way to end. Our check in concierge was quick with the process and managed to get us into a slightly bigger room with no issues. Our room service was quick and the food was delicious, the clam chowder was excellent.

A great stay
It was a great family stay. The jurassic park was amazing. Very family friendly. The hotel was busy. Room was comfortable but could do with some updating. The family suite with fridge, microwave and sink was a great asset to have. Overall, a nice stay and we would return.

Great outdoor area for children. Nice atmosphere in hotel and lobby. Staff were lovely. The breakfast was very poor quality.
Great family hotel, very friendly staff, fast service which really accomodates young children. Fabulous facilities all around and of course the Jurassic Park is an extra special place, especially for kids who love dinosaurs! So much to do without being fleeced at every turn. Family of 5 and we had an absolute ball!! Girls already asking to go again!

Great trip but lots of maintenance work in progres
We had a great family holiday at the hotel. Only downside was the maintenance works going on throughout the external area from car park building, painting external walls and Jurassic park was brilliant but also very much under construction. Feel some gesture or acknowledgement from management of the disruption would have been nice.
