Excellent Stay with One Breakfast Disappointment! The Excellent aspects: Perfect stay overall: Everything about my time at the Riu Plaza Gresham was truly excellent. Top-notch service: The staff was professional, welcoming, and highly attentive throughout. Great experience: Room comfort, cleanliness, and the central location were all outstanding. We travelled by Aircoach right outside the door of the hotel from Dublin airport. The Downside: Breakfast quality: the only disappointment was the hot breakfast selection. Both the pancakes and the bacon had a strange, plasticky taste. Verdict: Highly recommended: I would absolutely stay here again, but I might skip the some of the hot breakfast items next time. :) :)
