Stayed one night before flying out of Dublin. Our first time at a Crowne Plaza and we were impressed. The location is somewhat far (in my opinion) for an airport hotel - the shuttle took about 15 mins to make the trip. However, the surroundings are very beautiful - hotel is across from a historic park. And the hotel lobby has maps, water and towels for people who want to jog around the park!
Rooms are large and rather old-school plush, nothing to complain about! Best feature must be the reusable glass bottles for water in the rooms, 2 are provided for you to fill with either still or *gasp* SPARKLING water from the dispenser on each floor!
The gym was fairly large and very well-equipped for a hotel gym, i.e. lots of free weights and cable machines!
Restaurant breakfast was amazing! Huge spread, and Angelina (I hope I remembered correctly!) at the hostess stand was so obliging and helpful when we turned up before the restaurant opened at 6am because we had to scarf down our food and leave by 7. She brought us a pot of coffee right away and held our luggage behind her desk. Thank you so much!!
