The location was superb for attending a match at aviva stadium. Only a short walk away. upon my arrival, a VERY lovely lady checked me in. She. although i had not booked a table for dinner and the pub was busy, she secured a table and provided Really good service.

this place is right above a local pub in a suburb. it is close to a cruise ship terminal with airport access. the hot water in the shower is amazing! the water comes fast and feels great. food in the pub downstairs is perfect and the staff seems friendly. the owner even let us stay longer in the room on checkout day.
the coffee and tea facilities in my room were not good. also, the bathroom seemed very small. there wasn't much info about the area. i also didn't get information about transport.
