Great Quiet spot, super helpful staff!
Quiet location comfortable and convenient to park, and restaurants. Hotel workers were incredibly friendly and helpful especially behind the front desk, at the small grab and go cafe, and the restaurant. Would definitely stay here again!

One of my biggest regrets with my trip to Ireland was picking this hotel. Firstly the location is great if you have something to do in the vicinity but if you are there on a leisure holiday and want to explore Dublin, the hotel is 25 minutes walk away to the fringe of the city with limited food and entertainment options around. The chair and head board in my room was peeling. The front desk staff are friendly but not helpful or guest centric at all. They seem to be getting by on doing the bare minimum. I picked up my in room feedback card to provide feedback and guess what, it was already completed by a previous guest in another room! How did that get placed there? There was part of a chocolate wrapper on the floor as well so that made me really question the cleanliness of the room as well. I only stayed one night and I'm glad I did, one of my worst hotel experiences.

Very nice hotel! No complaints other then we paid extra for early checkin so we could arrive anytime after 9:00 am on day of arrival. Arrived around Noon and then waited 3 hours to get into a room. Excuse was there had been a Coldplay concert the night before but that shouldn’t have interfered with us since we paid extra in advance for early checkin so that was very frustrating after an overnight flight and no sleep.
