10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is perfectly planned for someone passing through Dublin Airport. The shuttles run very frequently so getting to and from the airport is a breeze and check in, even when there is a group coming off the bus is fast and efficient. We ate at two of the restaurants (we were leaving too early for breakfast) and found both of them delicious. We really enjoyed our stay and were only looking for a place to sleep between flights!"
