would anyone have a suggestion as to where to stay near the Dublin Airport the night before flying out? We are 8 in number and will have a van so it doesn't have to be real close to the Airport. Our flights leave mid morning.
A couple of years ago I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express just outside the airport. It was a great hotel, totally green (eco, not color!) The rates were quite reasonable. I will stay there again if I ever have an overnight before departing from Dublin.
We stayed a Bewley's this summer since they had the best rates for a room for 4 and a shuttle to the airport. It's about a 10 minute drive to the airport. There's nothing out there by the hotel, though.
