Gym and hotel
I want to give this time to write this review as i dont do it often, but the experience i had at the NRG gym was outstanding! I would like to give a special shout out to the young lady maya who was nothing but helpful during my stay at the river lee hotel. Definitely would recommend - amazing staff and clean area to boast.

5 Star Hotel
Recently had a stay with my niece and nephew in one of the properties newly renovated rooms. As always, The River Lee and entire Doyle Collection group have created beauty, comfort and class. Impeccable attention to detail and we felt so lucky. The entire team are superb - warm, fun, welcoming with a complete sense of ease. I've never hesitated in recommending The River Lee, it is without doubt 5 Star. Congratulations to all who make it happen ✨️
