"Did not spend a lot of time there (arrive late and had an early flight in the morning) but the staff were helpful and the room was nice. It is extremely convienient for Dublin Airport, 9 min to the car return and a short run to the airport. Did not get chance to try the bar or get breakfast."

"Clean and comfortable hotel in a good location. There was some initial confusion over the late check-out time, but this was rectified easily and without any problems. We didn't stay for breakfast as we had an early start, so can't comment on that. The restaurant food, however, was fairly mediocre and quite expensive for what it was. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay, but the dining experience could definitely be improved."
