cozy environment city view central location

The room was immaculate and cozy. I particularly loved the Oliver Wilde Suite that overlooks the city. Everything was within easy walking distance because it was centrally located.

The room cleanliness was borderline, I saw some dust in the bathroom.

Acceptable stay, some issues noticed

excellent location comfortable room well lit bathroom dust allergy no contact full amount

The location was excellent. I walked almost everywhere I wanted to go. The W B Yeats room was comfortably decorated. It had everything you would need. The bathroom was huge. It was well equipped and well lit.

Dust was EVERYWHERE in the room. My clothes became covered in dust when placed on one of the pieces of furniture. There was no way to contact the owners for any reason. In case of an emergency, they did not answer the phone. When I booked, I was charged the full amount.
