Marlin Hotel Stephens Green
Didn't have breakfast. Went to bar/restaurant but waited a while and no one came to seat us or assist us, so we left and went elsewhere. Location was great. Room was clean but poorly designed. Bed was not comfortable and faced TV sideways. Lights were awful; no reading light over bed. Lights in room ...
