Gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Meer und in Flughafennähe war perfekt für unsere letzte Übernachtung in Irland. So konnten wir den Urlaub gut ausklingen lassen, ohne am Abflugtag ein Zeitproblem für die Fahrt zum Flughafen zu haben.

Cons:

Der Teppichboden im Zimmer und auf dem Flur war sehr fleckig, Bett und Badezimmer waren allerdings sehr sauber. Es war keine Toilettenbürste vorhanden.
Beim Frühstück fehlte es an nichts.
Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal.

Pros:

We liked the location. We found the beds to be very comfortable and really quite.

Cons:

Room was small. Stains on the carpet both inside the room and a large stain outside our door. Breakfast choice wasn't great. No prunes or grapefruit. Hot food Luke warm. No butter first morning. Bar food wasn't great either. Vegetable curry was bland, mash potatoes had to be reheated and we are still waiting on the butter

Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Dublin
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt direkt an einem Strand und einem Golfplatz und in einer guten Gegend. Das Hotelzimmer ist sehr geräumig, so dass wir als Familie zu dritt sehr gut Platz hatten. Das Frühstück ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Das Personal war immer freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die Bettdecken waren für das Sommerwetter etwas zu dick. Die Türen zu den Zimmern könnten etwas leiser schließen. Es ist gut, Ohrstöpsel dabei zu haben, da Flugzeuge im Landeanflug zu hören sind (hängt mit dem Vorteil zusammen, dass Hotel in der Nähe des Flughafens liegt).
