We booked for one night as I'd been working in Dublin and we were due to head elsewhere the following day so rather than 4 hour round trip decided to book in for a night, having seen this hotel advertised many times I was glad to finally get the opportunity. Arrival you need to drive through a housing development to find the hotel, easily signposted, although I suspect the land previously belonged to the hotel going by the large pillars outnat the road, and was sold off for development during the Celtic Tiger years, means there is little 'greenery' around the hotel. Check in, I had completed the online pre check in as per the email received prior to arrival, whilst check in then became very quick ie what's your name, pay, here's your keycard, lift is to your right we lost the personal touch such as where breakfast is, serving times, where fitness centre is and opening times etc. Room 312 has nice view over the carpark as there are windows in front of the bed and to the right the TV is on the dressing table to the left, angled correctly you can see the screen reasonably well. Air con/heating is rather noisy so we mainly had it off. Shower is over bath, shower curtain has a habit of sticking to itself or you once it's wet however shower power is very good and temp can be controlled well. Breakfast is in the Rococo restaurant, appears to finish at 10 as per the menu type cards in the rooms. Reasonable fayre, tea pre made and personally a bit weak, and not roasting hot, but maybe it had been watered down a bit as the morning went on. Good enough selection of cereals, fruits and hot items. Didn't notice any small breads eg croissants but a lot of things covered so could have been there somewhere. Checkout, according to the keycard holder, is 11am SHARP and the threat of charge for overstaying beyond this time is clearly marked.....we weren't risking it. Overall, beds very comfortable, room clean and tidy so if I needed to stay again I probably would, would I book a longer trip...I'm not sure but checking out the leisure centre and spa would be good to experience.
