We had issues with the mattress, there was a huge dip in it. They changed this, but neglected to let us know. The breakfast was included- the best part of the stay.

Thank You, HIE, Until Next Time
The hotel was great. Located on O'Connell Street, it is located in walking distance of lots of shopping and restaurants. I checked in on a cold, rainy afternoon, after being in the cold and rain for two days. Check-in was easy, as it was pre-paid. My room was clean, comfortable, warm, and well-stocked with amenities. The breakfast buffet's (which is included) posted starting time is 6:30am, but it is available, slightly earlier for those guests who have an even earlier departure time. The offerings were plentiful and various to accommodate both omnivores and vegetarians. The check-out process was equally as simple as check-in, again due to having pre-paid. When I was not able to catch my AirCoach bus to the airport, due to a TFI bus' mechanical issue, the hotel reception assisted with calling a taxi. Due to the proximity to shopping/restaurants, I would stay here again.
