I recently stayed at Cassidy's Hotel in Dublin, and I am compelled to share my experience, particularly with Room 119. While the hotel itself is impeccably clean, well-kept, and beautifully decorated, my stay was far from satisfactory.
Let's start with the few positives: the hotel is undeniably clean. The room smelled fresh, and the carpet was spotless. The elegant crown molding added a touch of sophistication to the decor. The restaurant, Six, deserves a mention for its accommodating staff and excellent French-speaking server who provided a fantastic dining recommendation. Our dinner was nothing short of delightful, from the appetizers to the main course and wine.
However, my stay was completely ruined by the dreadful location of Room 119. Despite its cleanliness and ample supply of coffee and tea, the room's location made it the absolute worst choice for any guest. Situated on the first floor, the windows faced a backyard parking garage frequented by maintenance staff and hotel employees. The constant noise from traffic, door slamming, garbage pickup, and gates sliding open and shut was incessant and intolerable. Even the most patient guest would find it maddening.Closing the windows provided no relief, as the room was also near the exit stairs and atop a very busy area. The relentless traffic and door slamming vibrated through the walls, making any attempt at rest impossible. The view from the window was equally disappointing, opening to a dirty, mildewy roof.
