This was perfect! It was self check in and easily accessible by using the touch screen and the door code! Everything we needed was in our room. The parking lot across the street from this hotel - Bowling Green, was perfect spot to park our rental car. We stayed from Friday to Monday and Sundays are free parking! Everything you need is within walking distance including Eyre Square, Latin Quarter and Nimmos Pier.

the room was so small you couldn't use the toilet and keep the door closed. Def. do not do a snug room with two people. Also there is no safe for locking passports or anything and the cleaning staff came only 1 time in the 4 days we stayed. The wifi didn't work and there is no front desk so you have to text on whatsapp, but staff never responded despite many attempts. def do not stay here unless youre looking for a hostel vibe
