We were invited by being told to check ourselves in, but there was plenty of staff. It was dirty in the bathroom not to the caliber we were expecting.

Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin
Nice hotel, but not as close to the areas we were walking since it was on the north side of the bridge. Flooring was not typical for a 4 star hotel. Bathroom had no counter space. Nice hotel, value for money was not the best.
