Maldron Hotel Kevin Street, Dublin City
The rooms were nice and clean, they were also ready early which was nice. The hotel was close to many popular attractions but in a quiet area.

Keavans Port
This was a great hotel with great amenities and lots of positive things for staying there. I would definitely recommend. My only issue is parking a car so far away and having to catch a taxi with lots of bags in tow. Makes it quite a hassle but I understand why they can't have parking on site

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport
Parking was a bit of challenge. Very full. We asked if we could get ticket validated and was toldyes at departure time. When we went back we were told to go pay at the machine. Expensive for a 1 night stay.
