Excellent all across the board! The staff was wonderful and the accommodations were fantastic! The amenities were great and there were many details that made it a memorable experience. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. We were upgraded to a comfortable and fabulous suite. We highly recommend this beautiful property that was once a convent.

Great place to stay, super convenient to walking to everything in Ennis. Bar is a good stop and the breakfast is very good. My only recommendations would be iron and ironing board in the room and coffee maker for us coffeeholics. I will be back, the folks here are so friendly!!
