Dublin Hotel Choice- 9:20 Departure from DUB

All,

Flying out of DUB after a visit to Eire. Will be staying in the Dublin area the night before a 9:20 AM flight. We're currently booked at the Radisson Blue DUB, but seeing some rough reviews on Tripadvisor. I'm considering changing to the Conrad in town, but I'm concerned about travel time back out to DUB the next morning. Conrad website says 40 min travel time for bus and taxi. DUB airport suggests arriving 90 min. before flight. That would require departing the Conrad by 7:10 AM, not sure I'm thrilled about that. I'd appreciate any thoughts or input on the following:
1) is the travel time realistic for a cab?
2) is the 90 minute preflight arrival realistic (we're in DL Business if it matters)
3) would a 1 night stay in Dublin be worth the hassle of getting back out to the airport, or should we just stay at the Blu DUB?

Thanks,

Andyandy
