Very good location, close to many sites. Felt safe. Staff was helpful and checked us in early. We kept our luggage in a locked room until the room was ready and we explored the surroundings. I would not recommend leaving your bags unattended though. A flight attendant left her bag unattended outside for 1 minute and it was gone but that was not the fault of the hotel. The room was great, clean, shower was amazing and the beds comfortable. Breakfast was also really good. We would definitely come back here.

Hotel is very nice. Including breakfast was decent for buffet style. Having a room at the back of the hotel was nice and quiet, except for the seagulls at 4:30 a.m. But O'Connell street is really crowded, noisy and gulls and crows break open the garbage bags and strew garbage all over the sidewalk. Lots of smokers and vapers. A few homeless people.

The pillows were hard. As a wheelchair user it was quite difficult to access the hotel and restaurant although the staff were quick to provide a ramp at the entrance there were steps to the dining room

Wonderful place to stay. The biggest issue we had was having to change elevators going to 3 getting off and going to another elevator and going to D and reversing the process to get back to the lobby. It would be at least a little easier if guests were given a printed copy of directions when checking in. We weren't the only guests that were getting lost. It was frustrating.

We loved the hotel and location. What I didn't like was how late the breakfast opened. We had several tour that picked us up at 7am and we had no time to eat since it opened at 645am. Although we received a breakfast to go its not the same.

Loved everything about our stay, except the internet/wifi service. Logging in was a crazy involved process, and half the time you never got connected. Sometimes, my phone was connected, while my iPad was denied access. Luckily, I didn't have any pressing need. But, one of our group did and was unable to get much help from the staff. I did love that our room did not have any carpet, the bathroom was spacious. The shower had plenty of water pressure and the water got hot.

Exceeded Epectations

What stood out the most was the number of friendly, knowledgeable staff members on hand to assist with questions or provide service whether it was in the lobby area, restaurant areas or bar. We were on vacation and unfamiliar with the area and needed guidance with regards to the area and transportation availability. A staff member was always able to answer these questions. The rooms were clean and comfortable; the hotel location was great and the restaurants there were terrific. Numerous sitting areas in the reception area provide places to just sit and relax.
