Good stay-rude staff
Pros:

Close to everything

Cons:

There was a rude guy that was working there when I checked in. I was jet lagged with my arms filled w luggage. Couldn’t recall exact check in time but was going to only drop off bags. Instead of saying hi -he goes “do you know what time your check in is?!?!” He was rude. He was sassy. Thought he was just in a bad mood til this cute guy came in right after me. He then offered that guy water and was very nice.

Cons:

Our bedroom didn't have air conditioning, and specially during the night it would get too hot and uncomfortable for us 3. Luckily for us we visited Ireland on May, in spring temperatures.

correct
Pros:

Très bien accueillis par une hotesse vendredi matin. L'arrivée s'est très bien passé.
La chambre est très propre et le lit très confortable.

Cons:

Gros soucis le premier matin car a 2 reprises l'alarme s'est déclanché sans raison pendant que nous etions en train de dormir. L'isolation sonore est execrable, nous pouvions entendre les voitures et les gens parlé dans la rue comme si la fenetre était ouverte.
Pareil pour la porte d'entrée... dès que quequ'un passe dans le couloir nous pouvions entendre les conversation et le ménage. C'est dommage car en dehors de ca tout est parfait
