i found the room tidy upon arrival. the hotel offers a convenient discount for parking at the nearby hynes parking facility.. this made it easier to manage transportation. it is definitely an aspect i value.

i noticed that the breakfast area near the reception was quite compact. the limited space made it challenging to navigate during peak hours, and at times it became a bit chaotic.
