No room at the inn
We tried to check in at 2pm but was told to come back after 3pm as half the rooms weren't ready. they said we could leave our luggage. i'd already read a review saying it was just left unattended in the entrance so we declined. we then arrived back very tired and soaked through at 7pm to be told there wasn't a room available !! they said it was a very busy weekend. i don't understand how this can happen, we'd booked in january !!they'd booked us in at another hotel which was 10 minutes walk away. obviously we weren't walking anywhere so they called us a taxi. when we checked in at the north star they told us we had to go back to lynams the following day, but i refused and said once i unpacked i was not moving, so they called lynams who agreed we could just stay there for both nights. we'd picked lynams because of its location, we'd planned our weekend around getting to and from o'connell street, we knew bus numbers and times etc. having to move really messed up our plans. re the luggage, when we were waiting to check in at 7pm the receptionist left the hotel and went right across the room to fetch a taxi for another customer who'd been moved to another hotel. all the luggage that people had left was just left, unattended. there wasn't enough staff available to deal with the customers, especially as they were having to send people to other hotels.
