Poor
There was really nothing I like about this place. For a supposedly 4 star place, it was anything but.
No amenities in the lobby, no comfortable furniture to sit and meet with guests, no water or coffee offered. Staff was just shy of belligerent when enquiring about things. As if we were bothering them. Room smelled funny and was not comfortable. Some rooms were dusty and smelled bad. Coffee was brewed for breakfast one cup at a time. When you have a restaurant full of people this presents a problem. People were waiting in line for a coffee - in a four star hotel! Unacceptable!

Looks, history of the building. Nice breakfast and bar area
Not all rooms have AC so watch for that. Also fitness area could use a fan or window. Also good location but a hike to city center

Great stay in the Clayton for an event in the RDS. Very comfortable rooms. Breakfast great selection and tasty. Excellent pubs nearby, particularly enjoyed Paddy Cullen's live music. Hotel on walking distance of good pubs and restaurants, and a short taxi drive into the city centre

Our stay was delightful. We had requested a room with handicap accessibility and I've never seen a room deliver better. The entire room was very easy to access for my disabled husband. On top of that, it was a lovely room with very comfortable beds and a beautiful view.
The television provided in our room appeared to offer a lot of amenities like Netflix, Twitch, and YouTube, as there were options on the remote and in the T.V. menu. However, we could not get them to work, and upon asking at the front desk, we were told that those options were not actually available, which was a little disappointing.

Very nice - good location - comfortable
Got a little noisey but that was due to the fact a couple young groups were staying due to st Patrick’s day parade
