This is pleasant enough to read but there isn't a great deal of detail about the hotel. For example, readers may be expecting to find out more about the rooms, the accessiblity, the tariffs, the facilities, the restaurants/bars, the menus and some description of how to find the place. If you have a read around the site at some of the highly rated hotel reviews you can pick up some tips about the type of info readers will be looking for. There is no need for you to deviate from your individual style of writing......just include more info for your readers. Hope this helps. by ALM1

Advantages: Pleasant traditional Irish pub, well presented American themed food.

I've been to the pub and it sells Ale, but I drink Lager so I can't tell you if it's any good or not. It's a nice place to have a pint. by BlueMarble

Advantages: great pizza, fast service
Disadvantages: limited seating

This is the best pizza I've had in Ireland. I wish they had something like it up in Dublin. The only Pizza I have had this good was in Chigaco and New York. I love the fact they don't use an electric oven and cook the pizza with wood. I have always loved ... Read review
