This Is A Great Place To Stay
I wondered when I read some negative reviews - but the camplaints I read were unjustified. The staff was VERY friendly and helpful, from the maids to the front desk to the pub to the manager. I usually find that6 if you are polite and friendly, you will be treated the same, so have no fear, these folks are great. As to the hotel: yes it is older, but that's part of the charm. It was clean, well furnished, and the older part had glorious woodwork and tile. We had a great view of Dublin. And getting back and forth to Cinty Center could not have been easier: a short walk and grab the bus - ANY bus heading into town will do. Hghly recommend the Carvery for lunch - good food, friendly staff. And the pub is a must in the evenings. Again, be friendly, and they will be very friendly back. We enjoyed trying new things that were recommended. We WILL be going back to Ireland some day... and we will stay here again. (It was part of an air/hotel package and VERY reasonable.)
Unique Quality: Great view of the city.
