Ruby Molly Hotel Dublin
Clean nice room. Loved the counter space in the room. Served food on main floor making it convenient when needed something to eat late at night. No ice/buckets in room or on each floor, but could get from check in when needed. Breakfast was plentiful, but not enough hot food. Would stay at this location ...
