The Dean Cork
Very clean and staff was super friendly. Parking was a bit hard to find but they helped when we had questions. Food was amazing for our first Irish breakfast.

Imperial Hotel
We stayed here during the jazz festival. The staff was very accommodating, and we didn't experience any shortcomings not directly attributable to the throngs of people there to see the live performances. I would stay here again.
