I had a practical stay at the Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane. The location is convenient, right by the business center and just across from Bord Gais Theatre, making it ideal for shows. My room was clean and spacious, although I did experience some noise from other guests late at night. The friendly staff and a rich breakfast helped make up for it, even if the breakfast area got a bit crowded. Overall, I found my trip to be quite enjoyable, with a few minor hitches.
