Total disappointment leading to unnecessary hardship. First, about the room: the living area is fine, the television is modern and the safe is good - even the tea service is good. The bathroom is terrible (Room 306) hooks for towels or garments pulled away from their anchors - quite visible to staff. The shower head (a wand) fell off completely so it became a chore for me to fix while my spouse waited soaking wet for me to do something about it. The toilet water flow failed to evacuate solids until three tries for normal doings... ahem. Next was the natural of the sound proofing - hardly any by my reckoning. We had a 3:20 am wake up planned. At 1:00 am loud and rowdy people persisted in allowing doors to close loudly along with amplified talking and every bump or thud went through the structure. I went out to at least try to get whoever it was to be quiet but no one was there. I walked down the hall and heard a child crying (likely woken up) only to discover that the noise was coming from a "staff members only" door. Wow. We chose to give up at 2am and just wait for the first shuttle. Next: shuttle policy is really stupid. The van only holds 13 people (I think the driver said "13 - all full". So people were left to wait for the next shuttle. It isn't even first come first served... it's more like "load your suitcase yourself and maybe the van hasn't filled up when you try to get on". We got on, but I saw the disappointment in the people that didn't and I can't imagine what it would be like to miss a plane because of the cheapness of this hotel. But that's not all: we booked parking at the airport for five days, so we had to take a shuttle back to the hotel to get our car when we returned. Of course I fretted about getting on the Van when it showed up but... guess what? It didn't show! We waited for 50 minutes for a van that is supposed to arrive on the :15 and :45th minute of the hour. I called the hotel and got someone that didn't really speak (English) very well and didn't get an explanation only to tell me that the next van would be at :45 (another 20 minutes) so we had to walk back from Zone 16 at the Airport to Zone 20 with multiple laden bags (about 10 minutes) to hire a taxi to the hotel. The cost was 9.80. So I went to the desk and told then this all was unacceptable and gave them the receipt for the taxi expecting reimbursement. The person walked off and came back a bit later saying that there was no Manager (A Friday) and she couldn't give me cash. I immediately wondered why the hotel is operating without a manager for any number of reasons such as my complaint or to be a human resource person as needed or to mind the others or to conduct a fire evacuation - because the low language skills of the staff would not be helpful during a fire. I'm sure there are many other responsibilities for a manager that I am not aware of (like maybe making sure the Van is operating). I travel to Dublin Airport quite a few times each year and I have stayed at the Radisson and the Clayton without issues and with impeccable services. I made a mistake that will not be repeated.
