Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dublin-Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland / 11/2014 : The Facade, Details and other observations [3]


1. through 10, we enjoyed the views over lush greens and residential areas, that's keeping up with the location across from the Blanchardstown Centre and the suburbs of Dublin. We equally enjoyed our recognition at this hotel which incl. a fruit plate, a free dessert voucher with our dinner at the Forchetta Restaurant, free water and some chocolate at turn down. All is good / all was good, but we thought that this high standard would continue with our second stay in the same month / November 2014 / but this didn't happen, sadly so. There wasn't recognition for us, no fruits anymore, no welcome as repeat visitors / stayers of this property. As we have written before, should you receive what we received as IHG Gold's on our first stay, plus all the friendly welcomes to the hotel, the good room, superb views and enjoy the location, please enjoy the hotel, but we're very cautious now in our approach in recommending the property especially after our second stay here in Nov. 2014, which was our third stay overall at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dublin-Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland. We like the exterior too, as you can see from our photos published here. The Forchetta restaurant was memorable and tasty, the breakfast on the other hand wasn't very good and wasn't very enjoyable either. It's all about consistency and there seems to be a problem with this, especially seeing it's part of Crowne Plaza, a brand which sometimes lacks consistency, meaning high quality at all times. Overall, we hope you receive a welcome like we got during our first Nov. 2014 stay. Enjoy.


Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dublin-Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland / 11/2014 : Our King Bed Room : Bathroom [2]


1. through 10, the bathroom complimented the standard of our king bed room at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dublin-Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland. We enjoyed the space, the design and the bathroom amenities, no complaints here. As written before, we had two stays at this hotel and this particular stay sums up the more enjoyable stay. Should you get the same high standard of service and room, we would recommend this hotel in Dublin. Enjoy.


Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dublin-Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland / 11/2014 : Our King Bed Room [1]


1. through 10, we have stayed at this Crowne Plaza before and so we had known what to expect, in November 2014 we had two stays here and this documented one here on the blog was the highlight out of these two stays. We enjoy the location, the hotel is across the road from the large Blanchardstown Centre, a good destination to visit on a November weekend with lots of choices where to shop, to eat and to entertain. Our room was modern and of a good standard for a Crowne Plaza Hotel, it's part of IHG, we loved that we received complimentary fruits / chocolates on the bed for example and we loved our bed too, very comfortable, the check-in was also memorable, friendly and fast. Overall, should you be having such an experience we had as on this occasion we would recommend this hotel in Dublin. Enjoy.
