The free airport shuttle service ran frequently. A bus stop to the city center was a short walk from the hotel. My room included a very comfortable bed and good shower.
The underground parking access requires exiting the vehicle to scan cards.

airport stay success!
efficient check-inclean apartmentexcellent serviceworn paint
Check-in was quick! the restaurant staff were super efficient too! our apartment was clean and offered such great views. It really seemed like ireland's best kept secret for an airport hotel. the shuttle service was excellent too. It runs every 30 minutes, and the ride to the airport only takes about 10 minutes, so convenient.
The room felt a bit small, and i would have loved shower caps in the bathroom, i didnt want to wash my hair everyday! paint on the corridors need a refresh. It looked a bit worn!

the free shuttle to the airport was very convenient. the family apartment had nice views from the balcony. separate rooms for the kids were also a plus.
the front desk female was not friendly. she did not want to be bothered with questions needed for the bus. they gave us limited info on the bus. the area is inconveniently located.

Convenient and Comfortable Stay Near the Airport
free shuttleefficient staffconvenient location
I have stayed here recently for an early morning flight. The hotel provides a convenient eight-minute drive to the airport. The complimentary shuttle bus service operated efficiently (really appreciated it!). I found a parking spot in the garage, despite the full parking lot, as the staff were very helpful. The room offered a very comfy and tidy environment, perfect for a restful night.
The price was a little high for just one night but, given the convenient location, the advantages outweighed the cost.
