We
recently
stayed
at
The
College
Green
Hotel
in
Dublin,
and
although
our
overall
experience
was
a
pleasant
one,
there
are
a
few
reasons
behind
my
three
star
rating.
First
off,
when
arriving
to
the
hotel,
we
found
no
staff
on
the
outside
of
the
building,
therefore
finding
their
valet
service
was
a
bit
of
a
hassle.
We
ended
up
having
to
circle
around
twice,
before
we
finally
saw
the
very
obscure
‘valet’
sign,
propped
up
against
the
side
of
the
building.
Once
inside,
the
hotel
itself
is
UNDENIABLY
beautiful
(along
with
their
rooms),
and
the
staff
was
superbly
profesional
and
welcoming.
Check
in
was
a
breeze,
and
the
gentleman
at
the
front
desk
(Roberto)
did
an
amazing
job
at
giving
us
a
run
down
of
the
place,
and
even
went
as
far
as
booking
us
a
reservation
at
the
restaurant
on
site
(Morelands,
more
on
that
in
a
bit)
for
that
very
same
evening.
As
with
any
other
high
end
hotel,
this
hotel
also
offers
a
turndown
service.
If
you
can
even
call
it
that.
All
that
was
done
for
the
turndown
service,
was
the
curtains
to
our
room
were
shut.
That’s
it.
We’ve
stayed
on
other
properties
where
the
turndown
service
is
a
bit
more
than
just
that.
ie:
set
out
the
slippers,
prep
the
bed
for
sleep,
etc.
Moving
on
to
the
restaurant
on
site,
Morelands.
This
was
probably
where
our
biggest
disappointment
came
from.
The
restaurant
itself
is
beautiful,
with
the
perfect
warm
lighting
one
would
want
around
a
quiet
dinner.
The
food
on
the
other
hand
was,
to
put
it
in
the
simplest
of
forms,
not
good.
That’s
not
to
say
all
of
their
food
is
bad,
but
overall,
not
the
greatest.
I
ordered
their
12oz
ribeye,
medium
rare,
and
to
say
it
was
rare,
is
an
understatement.
I’m
honestly
not
one
to
send
food
back,
so
I
didn’t.
But
notice
I
did.
The
next
morning
we
took
part
in
their
breakfast,
which
was
for
the
most
part,
included
in
our
stay.
There
were
two
items
on
the
menu
that
came
with
a
“supplemental”
fee.
One
being
the
Eggs
Benedict.
Why
they
would
feel
the
need
to
charge
for
what
seemed
like
the
laziest
attempt
at
an
Eggs
Benedict
is
beyond
me.
We
probably,
should’ve
stopped
there,
but
on
a
late
night
we
were
hungry,
we
decided
to
order
room
service
from
their
late
night
menu.
We
opted
for
their
pizza
thinking
what
could
go
wrong.
It
wasn’t
just
bad,
it
was
late
night
gas
station,
stale
pizza
bad.
And
I
get
it,
the
restaurant
is
a
separate
entity
to
the
hotel
itself,
but
there
has
to
be
some
accountability
here.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
this
all
adds
into
the
experience
a
guest
has
when
staying
on
their
property.
In
summary,
would
I
stay
here
again?
Should
you?
Sure.
The
location
is
AMAZING.
Everything
one
who’s
visiting
the
city
for
a
few
days
would
want
to
see
and
do,
is
literally
within
walking
distance.
But
do
yourself
a
favor,
skip
the
meals
there.
They
are
absolutely
not
worth
it.
Honorable
mention:
the
Mint
Bar
is
awesome!
Super
cozy,
and
a
perfect
place
to
end
your
evening.
