Met all expectations
Pros:

Great selection for breakfast. Staff were excellent, friendly, and very attentive. The views of the marina and bay from the breakfast room were one of the best we have had in any hotel. Room size was amazing, plenty of space and very confortable beds. Large well stocked bathroom and an excelent shower.

Cons:

My only gripe was that some items of the cooked items at breakfast could have been a little warmer.

We arrived late in the day. Checked in. Had a little rest and then went into town for dinner.
Pros:

Lovely modern room with space for my husband, daughter and me. Big bathroom. The hotel itself is GORGEOUS with a sweeping staircase in the main area, old world charm bar, several places for dining and getting a quick snack. It's located within walking distance of the local train/tram station, the Malahide Castle, and the vibrant bar and restaurant area. The hotel overlooks the beach and bay.

Cons:
