Arrived later at night and young lady at desk said no longer checking people in. Said you have to do it on line. So I stand there and book on line. She was extremely rude and then tells her co worker to check us in. Rude to her coworker as well. Last leg of our trip through Norway, Sweden, Denmark and then Ireland. Worst check in experience of all.

The main benefit of this property is that it’s close to the airport. They have signs saying a strict no outside food or drink which was disappointing. The rooms also do not have AC so just be prepared for that. It was nice being able to have a 3 bed room for my group.

Paid extra for a King Room. The shower sprayed water all over the bathroom (it was loose and spraying towards the ceiling) We tightened that ourselves, only to find that the tub had multiple cracks and was leaking into the floor and flooding the bathroom. We asked to change rooms, but the man they sent to give us the new keys did not offer to help move our bags and took our keys for the current room. This meant our lights went out, so we packed and moved rooms in the darkness. Our new room, which was expected to be a more standard room, had a roll-away bed in it, as well as the standsrd double bed and twin bed for the style of room. This meant we had 0 floor space. I told the front desk and they asked if I'd like to "Just leave the hotel?" It was 11pm and that wasnt an option, i just asked them to take the extra bed out. "Thats just how the room is sir, we can't remove it." I said I understand these rooms have 2 beds, but there is an extra roll-away bed that is taking up all of the open space in the room. He said that's just how it is. When i got back up to the room, we figured out how to get the bed folded and pushed it to the corner and I called the front desk again, to have them remove the bed, to which they sent 2 men and they finally realized what the issue was and rolled it out. The following morning, after being told a manager would be available at 8am, we waited 30 minutes at check out to speak to someone, just for her to tell us she couldnt refund anything. 0/10

I chose this hotel for proximity to the Dublin airport and the pool. It was convenient for the airport…though still a 20 euro ride away. The pool was ok but they make you buy an uncomfortable swim cap to use to pool. The staff at the pool were very unfriendly. The hotel staff at the desk were nice. Though my key card didn’t work at first so, after I very long flight I had to trudge back down to the main desk with my bags to ask for a card that worked. The carpet in the hallways is gross…very dirty. The room itself was nice enough though the refrigerator did not work. The bag/door man was very nice and helped me back to my room with my bag and made sure to key card worked. He was the best thing about the hotel. The food at the restaurant was decent but overpriced.

We were able to check in early. Parking available on the street in front of the hotel. Room was okay but too warm. Window opened about 4" and we had a fan running all night. Close enough to walk about town. They seem to have a homeless problem around the hotel.

We stayed for 3 nights, toiletry items called to front desk were ignored. Instead we were told to remove our do not disturb sign for housekeeping entry. The rules were; no outside drinks or food allowed in the room. The mini fridge was broken and no ice allowed. You cannot adjust your temperature due to no gage in the room. There was a sign at the pub entrance, stating that you could be refused entry do to your dress attire. They did have a beautiful pool and large gym facilities with Fitness Trainers.
