It was a really good 4 star plus hotel. The leisure centre and pool were fab, you would be looking down over the city from the jacuzzi and pool.
All the big events like the Mayors Ball and the annual Chamber of commerce Ball and big weddings were held there. It was excellent , i could nt fault it at the time. I never stayed in the hotel so i cant comment on the bedrooms. It was a very busy place and was doing very well. The views were spectacular as you can imagine.
The only reason it closed was because more money could be made with less hassle from property speculation or so they thought!

There was a big development planned for the site. See this thread. Waterford City Council refused permission, but it is being appealed to An Bord Pleanala.

Does Waterford still require archeological mitigation (dig for historical artifacts) of building sites slated for new developments?

If they need a reason to stop anything being developed theyll use it
