Staff were extremely kind. I stayed here on my birthday and they made it feel so special. I was given a bottle of wine and chocolates upon check in. The location was great and only a 15min walk to get to Paddy’s market, both crown and star casino, Hyde park and a 5 min walk to the restaurants on the water. Thank you to the staff, you guys are a 10/10
