Really good Stay, A Return Visit is a MUST!

useful luasrelaxing stayfirm pillows
The location suited me perfectly for nearby venues. A Luas stop was also just around the corner, very useful for getting around. The room had everything I needed for a relaxing stay.
I did notice the absence of an iron and ironing board in the room. It would be useful to have them available without request. The pillows were also a little too firm for my taste.

The room had modern decor and essential amenities. A Marshall Bluetooth speaker was available for personal entertainment. The shower had excellent pressure and consistent hot water, a plus.
