Glenmore House

Location was convenient to the airport, which is why we chose it. Breakfast was self-serve, and open for quite a long time. Checkout being at 11:00 was nice for us, since it meant we could sleep in a bit before we caught our flight. Tea and coffee were supposedly available in the dining area 24/7.

Room was really stuffy and hot, and unfortunately even though there were nice large windows, since we were on the ground floor we couldn't leave them open after we went to bed, since anyone could easily climb in. Even with the radiator turned off and leaving the windows open as long as we could, we slept rather fitfully due to sweating so much (yes, in Dublin, in 50 degree F weather). Overhead light in the bathroom flickered like a strobe light (we were admittedly too tired to ask someone to come change the bulb that evening, but did let them know in the morning), and the light above the sink didn't work at all, so had to bathe in the dark. While we usually appreciate nice hot water, the hot water tap at the sink and bath tub were DANGEROUSLY hot. Like, you could seriously burn yourself and/or brew a steaming cup of tea straight out of the tap sort of hot. Perhaps it was just our room, but it was beyond the point of scalding. (And yes, we've used sinks with the 2 separate taps for years on our travels-- this was a far cry above the usual hot water temperature.) We chose this place over other hotels in the area, as it was listed as a B&B and sounded nice enough online, but it's just a rather shabby hotel that has a continental breakfast included, but with very few other amenities. Despite checkout being at 11:00, (we thought we'd appreciate having the extra time to relax), the cleaning staff tried to open the door at least twice before we had checked out. The hotel is REALLY close to the airport, so the three Euros each person (each way) seemed a bit steep for the shuttle. Did not feel it was worth anywhere near the $120 we spent for the one night.
