A Few Issues Noted

free parkinggood locationshort walkmissing bathsmall roomaccommodation issue
The hotel offered free parking. This was a good feature. Aviva Stadium was a short four-minute walk away. I found this convenient. The DART station was also just a four-minute walk. This made touring the area easy..
The room lacked a bath. This was a problem since the details stated there would be one. The rooms seemed small. I think they look much bigger in the pictures. Staff were doing their best to accommodate guests.

The location was convenient for getting around. The dart station was close by.
The room felt small, and the lighting was poor. It made doing makeup difficult. the bathroom had issues. The toilet roll was too far away from the toilet. i also found the pillows unsupportive, they gave me headaches.
