This property is a bit dated, and you can tell it was glamorous back in its day. Still, though, it looks like they're making upgrades and I hope someone pours in some money to make it really pop again. Having said this, the staff at the front desk were fantastic, breakfast was plentiful and good, and the indoor pool and bayside garden areas were lovely. My room was huge and comfortable, and the view overlooking the bay was wonderful! Only complaint is that it's a long walk to the back of the property to these rooms, and there's not an elevator/lift for the rooms with the killer views. So if you have mobility issues, keep that in mind. Still, it's worth it to stay here and be away from the hustle of Dublin City Center. It's peaceful and serene in Sutton, the train is only an 8 minute walk, and beautiful Howth is right next door.
