Liked the covenience of hotel location for bus from airport drop off and pick up. Also walkable to many attractions. Loved its proximity to the Irish bar/restaurant next door. We went there every night for dinner and to listen to the live music. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. We stayed in the hotel on 2 separate occasions,separated by a week. Upon arriving to check in for the 2nd st y, the front desk staff offered us a room with accessibility when one of us arrived on crutches,having sustained an injury in the interim. Very kind and much appreciated. Really,only complaint is the breakfast gets really crowded and there is a lack of seating sometimes. Also, the scrambled eggs ( we assume they are from a dehydrated egg powder) are horrid and tasteless. Perhaps source a more flavorable alternative please.
