There was no A/C in the room, and even though the heater was off inside, the heater in the 4th-floor corridor was on, making the room extremely hot. We had to open the windows and move the bed closer to get some fresh air. The heat made it difficult to sleep. The shower only had hot water—no cold option—and there was no fridge to keep drinks cool, so we had to put them outside the window. It was just hot, hot, hot everywhere! Other than that, everything else was nice. We stayed for a week, and parking was easy. Not every day was a buffet—some days there was a buffet, and other days meals were served from a menu. The food at the bar and restaurant was excellent, and the staff were exceptionally friendly.

We stayed at the Bracken while visiting Ireland for the Steelers football game. The hotel was located close enough to Dublin, yet it was quiet and away from the business of the city. Thomas, our server one night for dinner, went above and beyond to make our dinner special! The room was spacious and cozy, the bed was comfy, and breakfast was delicious.
