Since "arlflyer" provided such an excellent and detailed review of the property a few posts earlier, I will only add a few observations from my point of view.

What a juxtaposition when you first get dropped off in front of the hotel. Construction debris everywhere, bland fascia etc., and then you walk in.. warm colors everywhere. High end finishes to almost everything from furniture to ornamentation.

Got upgraded to the 6th floor (an Executive Floor). Didn't get a room with a great view, (inside court), but that was OK, having that I paid 66 euros a night for the room (pre-pay). Received vouchers for breakfast and an interesting letter stating that we were invited to have access to the Executive Lounge as it was reserved for Diamond status members only.

Room was fine, only complaints would be low water pressure for the shower and the door really wanted to slam shut loud if left to its own devices.

Executive Lounge was really nice, albeit not very large. Very comfortable leather chairs and a large TV hung up which was really nice for watching the Olympics

Now for the awesome surprise.. A pour your own Guinness station set next to the bar. Had a looping video on how to pour a perfect pint. Kind of got it on the first night, but mastered it on the 2nd after spending some quality time at the Guinness Storehouse earlier in the day (highly recommend the Connoisseur Experience, btw). Not a lot of food offerings, although what was put out was of high quality.

The breakfast offering in the EL was some fruit, cold cuts and cheeses. Ended up using the vouchers instead in the main restaurant. Nice selection and one even gets a full thermos of coffee or tea when ordering.

I enjoyed the gym that wasn't very large but it has a spectacular view overlooking the city and mountains beyond. Very pretty sunrise.

The walk from the Hotel down Leeson to St. Stephens takes about 10-15 minutes. Another 10 gets you down to Grafton and Temple Bar, so the location is not central, but not bad at all either.
