The location was central. It was near temple bar. i liked the darkey kelly pub right next door to the hotel. the room had a hairdryer and iron, helpful for preparing for meetings.
the room was basic and not as clean as i expected. i noticed dust in the corners. also, the wifi signal was not strong, and the television did not function.

The location proved acceptable for getting around. I wasn't expecting much, and I received it.
The room needed some attention. The carpet looked rather worse for wear. The stains I found made me question a few things and it was never really clean.
