Clayton Hotel Burlington Road
Great location , easy check in , clean comfortable room, good breakfast with good selection and nice dining room. Overall good but I’d have preferred not to have payed for parking. A bit unfair to charge residents in my opinion.

Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central
Biggest plus is the proximity to the airport and the free shuttle service. The room was clean, but only one luggage stand for two suitcases. Had a sandwich at the bar that was good, but the bar/restaurant could have used another helper. Staff was friendly and got us checked in/out quickly.
