Bottom Line

This 64-room, three-pearl hotel has an on-site fine-dining restaurant and bar that are popular with locals, and plenty of free on-site parking. Rooms are well-maintained and include large flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and iPod docks, but there is no pool or fitness center on-site.

Scene
Modern, laid-back style with some '90s touches
The Everglades Hotel is housed in a three-story brick building that's partly covered with ivy located in a quiet, natural setting. The public spaces are well-maintained and uncluttered, and decorated in a modern, easy-going style, though it feels a bit reminiscent of the '90s in its colors, patterns, and generous use of velour. The reception area is tiled in pale gray, and a dark-wood-and-white marble counter is manned by staff welcoming arriving guests. The lobby has a spacious lounge area decked out in patterned carpets and comfy couches, and high-backed armchairs covered in pale pink or gray velour, along with a grand piano and a fireplace. Most guests are leisure travelers or couples on weekend getaways. The hotel is also a popular wedding venue, thanks to its grand ballroom and on-site fine dining restaurant.
Location
Located in a quiet, residential area
Everglades Hotel is located on a main arterial road that leads to Derry city center, a four-minute drive away. This is a quiet residential area with lots of parkland, and the Foyle River is across the street from the hotel. The City of Derry Golf Club is a three-minute drive away. It's a 45-minute drive to Castlerock Beach, and the Sperrin Mountains can be reached in 50 minutes. Glenveagh National Park is a 55-minute drive away. The nearest airport is Belfast International Airport, a one-hour and 15-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Well-maintained rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks
The 64 rooms at the Everglades Hotel include Singles, Doubles, Twins, Family and Superior Rooms. They are well-maintained and feature queen-size beds. Decor is classically simple, with pale, neutral tones of beige and gray, highlighted by complementary red accents, such as pillows and bed runners. Bathrooms have shower/tub combos, and small sinks. Executive Rooms have more floor space and are air-conditioned, while the bathrooms have both separate bathtubs and showers. There are also a few nice extras, such as robes and slippers, mineral water, and welcome trays. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, electric kettles for coffee- and tea-making, irons and ironing boards, safes, and hairdryers. Be aware that some rooms are prone to traffic noise.
Features
On-site restaurant, bar, conference center, and free parking
The Everglades Hotel has an on-site restaurant, the Grill, which is considered to be one of Derry's best dining spots. Open throughout the day, the Grill serves breakfast, which is not included in the room rate. The restaurant also serves an afternoon tea and a Sunday brunch. Room service is also available. The adjacent Library Bar is spacious and cozy, and like the restaurant, is popular with guests and locals alike. The hotel includes a conference center that has four air-conditioned suites, and a grand ballroom that can accommodate up to 400 guests. Guests and visitors can park for free in the large parking lot. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
