Travelodge Hotel Dublin Airport North (Swords)

I was there for a Zumbathon event held close by the hotel was a ten minute walk to the venue which was ideal. You couldn't fault the room in any way, being clean and tidy. Staff were not very friendly, all in all, a very enjoyable stay !

Good hotel, nearly city center, free parking, restaurant just ahead, great bedrooms, with all confort.

I arrived at 10pm after a long tiring day in the UK. Check-in was simple and completed in no time. On arrival to my room everything looked to be in order. The bed was very soft and gave no real support. Given that it was a very humid night, i didnt need much covers but it was a good job i didnt as there was only one very thin duvet on the bed. The pillows were just about suffice. Despite having a couple of alcoholic beverages during the day, i had a very hard job sleeping during the night as i woken early in the morning to the sound of shouting in the corridor, noisy cleaning ladies who thought it was ok to let 2 glass bottles fall on the ground. However i eventually got back to sleep for a short time. I got up and proceeded to fill the kettle to have a cup of coffee and upon inspection of the cups i quickly changed my mind as there was dirt and mould in the cups!! I then went for a shower or what can only be described as an excuse for a shower- No hot water unless you stood a certain way!! Also the shower head was broken so water was spraying out of all directions. There was also a black mould like substance on the bath and there was no shampoo or shower gel supplied in the room.

Stayed in the Travelodge Swords last thursday night. Checked in to what was supposed to be a non smoking room. The smell of smoke off everything in the room was appaling. Rang reception and was told that it was a non smoking room and that the smell must be coming from the room above! The room itself was very basic but clean (apart from the smell!) Also every movement by the people in the upstairs room could be heard throughout the night. Will not stay here again.

Small niggle - remote control not working for telly. Otherwise it was exactly what you would expect from a travelodge - handy for the airport and a clean comfy place to rest your head. I feel I must mention the staff. They were all, without exception, helpful and friendly. Nothing flash or smarmy, just simple old fashioned courtesy with a smile. I don't wish to sound stuck-up or patronizing, but they really are a credit to you. Happy to recommend.

desk staff very helpful,room clean and tidy no problems with any part of stay
