Great spot

Great location, friendly staff, incredible shower. Shame you’ve to pay for parking if you don’t book directly with the hotel. Was never advised so that’s a bit unfortunate but other than that it was great

Disappointing

We were disappointed in this 4 star hotel. the room was too hot & it was impossible to turn the radiator down or even off. The restaurant was poor, choices on the menu were few & very ordinary. and was the same every evening, forcing us to find somewhere else to eat On Sunday the hotel ran out of butter! We chose the hotel because it had a secure car park. We reserved a Blue badge space in advance and were assured one would be saved. When we arrived the car park was full to overflowing & there were no spaces available at all. We resorted to parking in an EV charging station, the only space available.It was very very narrow.

The Grand Canal was very convenient to getting about the main part of town, and its adjacency to the DART made it easy to get to farther points. The variety of food options, from the daily breakfast to the quick coffee/pick-up food/light lunch in the lobby, to the brewpub attached made it very simple and enjoyable to hang out with my travel companions if we were too tired to venture out. The bathrooms were the nicest I saw on my trip, although I would have loved a bathtub for a soak.

Our stay was very nice! The rooms were spacious and very clean. They even smelled good like minty potpourri! The beds were comfortable and the feed in the restaurant was good! We are from Texas where it stays hot 24/7 so we’re used to having an air conditioner on most of the year. We were a little warm at night but we opened the windows and ran the fan so that helped. Very nice hotel. We would definitely recommend it!
