In a word: OVERPRICED.
We tried to make arrangements at another hotel with openings 2 doors down, but never got the confirmation. When we arrived, that hotel, which I stayed in & quite liked in 2007, was full. We went to the Morgan & it was double. DOUBLE. My husband, exhausted & sensing my exhaustion after a long drive from Mulranny following a night in which I'd slept horribly, persuaded me to stay there, insisting it would take forever to find something cheaper. I knew better but was too tired to argue. The woman at the front desk offered to include breakfast for our 2 night stay, which was nice (though we discovered we could only take them up on it one day, as we had to leave for the airport before breakfast started at 8 Sunday).
The location is great, and the room surprisingly quiet for the booming music & large crowd in the swanky modern bar downstairs. The breakfast was decent as well. However, for being the most expensive hotel room I'm stayed in (including another in Dublin, as well as a boutique hotel in Chicago and a hotel in Manhatten), I was expecting it to really be something. What it was was a smallish, all-white, but pleasant room that looked chic at a glance, but with a closer look was a little sub par. First, there was a big brown stain on the cream-colored rug. There was also a white wingback chair that wasn't truly white or covered in a proper chair cover, but rather only had the surfaces covered in white fabric so you could see the sponge edges of the cushion. The final badness is the lack of ventilation in the bathroom has led to some serious ceiling mold. That's not just a cosmetic problem; that's potentialy dangerous.
Additionally, they are not super technologically advanced. There appeared to be internet access through the TV, but the keyboard in the room was without batteries. They did advertise free wifi, so we called down for login info & they had to call us back with it. It was incorrect, so we called back &, again, they had to call us back with the info. Then my husband's account (temp password for the free wi-fi) was cancelled sometime Saturday evening, even though our checkout was the next day. We called down to get a new one and, of course, they had to hang up and call back. Only, there was never a call back.
If this had been a 75 or 100 euro per night hotel, I'd have fewer issues (aside from the mold). When The fees are over 150 euro, I expect the room to be clean & the service to be excellent. They fell way short.
