mixed feelings about this stay

awful pillowssugar breakfast
the pillows in the room were honestly awful. i asked for help with the coffee machine when it broke down (it was really frustrating!), but no one came, so i had to fix it myself. the breakfast that was delivered to the room was continental style. it was also very heavy on the sugar. i definitely wouldn't choose that option again.

The hotel has a VERY handy shuttle bus. Vegan dining options were good TOO! The staff helped me find vegan breakfast options quickly. The traditional Irish music was dope!
My room was old and felt DIRTY. The cleaning service needs to improve. Curtains were old. My room smelled like cigarette smoke and the door required significant force to close properly, I hate THAT.
