Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was great and the restaurants were great. Very spacious and tons of closet space. No air conditioning but there was a Dyson fan so it wasn’t terribly hot. It was Friday night and the bars across were loud so we didn’t open the windows. Our room was over the bar and was loud and you could feel the bass through the bed and hear it until quite late. Had I have known, I would have asked for a different room but didn’t know until later bin the evening when we got back to our room.

Only issue we had was that the air conditioner was not working properly. Made the room uncomfortable and since we had to open a window, the noise from a party below in the courtyard below made sleep very difficult. Staff was very friendly and location was great.

Great spot for traveling w a child as they have rooms w extra twin. There can be noise in alley due to all the nightlife. The location is super accessible to main downtown sites and the train is a very short walk. Sin E bar is great music close by and Priory super for breakfast. Blarney is only 20 min drive.
