Within range of being a solid choice

Location quite good, breakfast was great, staff was great, associated pool & gym is a big plus, no view from our room, just a very nearby office building. But it was impossible to overlook the big wine stain by our bed, or the other stains on the carpet. We mentioned it on checkout and the answer was the carpet will be replaced. (They should probably start with the room(s) where you can’t get into bed without being reminded of someone’s excessive nightcap.) Also the bathroom sink barely drained, we didn’t mention it until checkout because we didn’t want workmen in our room during our stay.

Great location, staff were very pleasant. Parking is self serve and can get a discounted rate by presenting your ticket to the desk. Room was very large, just a weird bathroom layout, not very private for 2 people.

Room wasn't ready despite arriving after check-in time. Arrived to bloodstained bedsheets, had to ask at reception for them to be changed. Poor turndown service with items left unfinished including piles of dirty linen left behind and items being washed up in bathroom sink. Response from hotel staff was pretty underwhelming; check-in and out all done on self-serve kiosks which were slow or just didn't work and needed staff help anyway. Overall a pretty lacklasture trip only saved by the excellent food and staff in the restaurant bar.

Well situated in city centre to provide a good insight to Ireland. From exploring history, cuisine, shops, both within the city and from surounding regions. Well worth a return to the friendly welome to departure.

A very nice me property but service was lacking in some respects. The room was not furnished with enough towels. Only two for theee guests. The house phone is non- functional so a trip to the front desk was required to request an additional towel. The TV would not work due to dead batteries in the remote. In addition the mounting was loose leaving the tv drooping and pointing downward. A request for service was answered but took more than an hour. And the tv mount was “fixed” by propping it up with a folded towel. The service person did not have any tools and could not tighten the screws.
