Scene
Riverside hotel with lovely water views
Its lovely location on the banks of the River Suir affords
the Waterford Marina Hotel lovely views over the water, but this is a no-frills, budget-friendly operation. Decor is sparse, which gives some of the
interiors a dull, dated, and lackluster look, but the common spaces are functional and
pleasant. The spacious lobby has plenty of comfortable couches and armchairs, and the large windows let in plenty of light. The dining room is lined with
windows overlooking the river. The
bar, like the dining room, is filled with upholstered wooden chairs clustered around tables and dark barrels with round tabletops. Bar seating is also available. A
lovely outdoor terrace with picnic tables overlooks the river. Other common
areas include couches, and areas that are devoid of decor still offer nice views from the
windows.The hotel attracts a
mix of leisure travelers and families, who are enticed by the affordable rates, spacious family rooms, and kid-friendly perks such as a children’s
menu at the restaurant. Business travelers are also frequent guests, drawn by the conference facilities, free Wi-Fi, and modest business facilities.
