Lovely big space with separate bedroom and comfortable bed. Great, quiet location near to the Dart trains and buses to the centre of town. Close to a large supermarket to pick up provisions. Very clean and the staff were welcoming.

Check-in was quick and efficient. Breakfast was included and it was very good. We asked for an extra desk to work in the room and they were able to accommodate it. The staff understood my request and was very helpful. The AC is not strong enough. My room was always too hot for my taste. The room floor is easy to clean but the product used leaves it sticky. The 6xx rooms are accessible through a narrow staircase from the fifth floor. It is not very convenient and is not compatible with the hotel class and price. The location is very good with super easy access to luas and airport shuttle buses.

Property is very nice, though quite dated. Beautiful big windows with great views of the ocean, but the room needed a fan or AC, it got very stuffy with no fan for the restroom even. Bed was quite saggy, and needed new pillows. Room was nice and clean though
