Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was spotless and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only downside was the parking. The private car park at premises is very small so there was no availability on my arrival. The parking spaces on the main street were full. I found a parking space on a residential street a 7 minute walk away.

It took a while to find the check-in. It turned out to be the bar. We left our bags there and came back later. The room had an odor and the wifi was down. Some nice staff gave us a new room which was fine. When I asked the manager the next morning to put "WIFI was down" on my receipt so I could apply for credits from Expedia, they were clearly not impressed with the request. We stayed in some sweet hotels in Dublin. This wasn't one of them.

Parking was very difficult, first of all there was no check-in counter, we checked in in the bar. Was directed to park our car in the front of the parking lot and it was free. Circled around for over a half an hour could not find access to the front of the building. Finally called again and was told the parking lot that we had originally been in was where we were supposed to park and we would be given a voucher for parking. This was extremely confusing, a very small parking lot, and very difficult to maneuver vehicle within the parking lot

Pub/hotel near the Dublin Airport.

It was a hotel on top of a pub. Not fancy, but comfortable. Order everything from the bar including food, drinks, and hotel room. Not much parking and a little hard to find, but we felt secure, had a good dinner, and enjoyed the pub atmosphere.

Unfortunately there was no mention of a bar/nightclub that is part of the Inn in the description. There was very loud techno dance music until 2 in the morning. It was extremely loud. We could not sleep until after the bar/night club closed.
