Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were lovely, although a bit dated and lacked the wow factor they used to have. The service was great, with friendly staff and a big buffet breakfast. The location was in a nice and quiet area close to Dublin Airport, but finding it and getting to meetings was a bit challenging at times. The dining experience was a bit unorganized and went downhill, with limited seating and cleanliness issues. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service but some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms were some of the most spacious I've ever stayed in, full of high walls with booths for the eating area. However, the high stools weren't suitable for relaxing, especially on the weekends. While the rooms didn't have the wow factor they used to, the service was great worth a visit, despite a few hiccups like having to pay unexpectedly and dealing with unprofessional management. The location isn't fantastic for quick trips into town but the shuttle bus arrangement was helpful, with comfortable and spacious surroundings. The dining options were enjoyable but a bit pricey for families, with only a moderate shower experience. Overall, the hotel includes convenient amenities and is particularly close to local attractions.
The hotel offers fabulously spacious rooms with a nice view and a very clean environment. However, there are some shortcomings such as inadequate electricity points, especially at bedside, and the bathroom taps splash when in use. The TV in the room was small and initially hard to get turned on, but overall, the rooms are spacious and clean.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, had everything needed, and even complimentary water, but they had some issues like stained floors and cigarette burns in the curtains. On the bright side, the triple decker toasty at the bar was fantastic.
The hotel is in a convenient spot, not too far from the airport. The rooms are cozy and clean, though the sound insulation could be better. The overall service was friendly and helpful, with various amenities available. The dining options had some tasty choices but lacked supplies in the rooms. The location was decent for our needs, with minor inconveniences due to airplane noise and distance from the town.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were prepared earlier than expected for our family, even though they were a bit cold with just a Dyson heater. The service was quite efficient overall, although there were some hiccups with the order and mood when taking our kids' food selections. The location, while convenient for our plans, did have the downside of constant noise from airplanes due to its proximity to the airport. The food options were varied and tasty, but the breakfast did come cold to our room. Overall, a decent stay with its ups and downs.
