“Embassy-district quiet, broken promise”

InterContinental Hotels Dublin is a clean, modern hotel in the safe embassy district — spacious bright rooms with luxurious bathrooms, nice bedding, good food, friendly staff and pleasant Christmas decor, with a train five minutes away reaching the centre in one stop, restaurants five-to-eight minutes on foot, and the whole vibe calm. Three complaints: it is a twenty-minute commute from town, an emailed anniversary upgrade promise was not honoured, and shower pressure runs low; the afternoon tea is unremarkable.
