Scene
In a tourist hot spot, with a congenial on-site Guest Lounge and Outdoor Terrace
A red-brick facade above a line of Main Street shops, the Dublin City Inn has no formal lobby -- there's simply a reception counter for check-in -- but guests can gather in the Guest Lounge, which has polished wood floors, black leather lounges, circular dark-glass coffee tables, abstract artwork, vending machines, and an open fireplace. Here guests will also find tourist maps and activities for the taking, and a coin-operated computer with a printer. The lounge leads to a pleasant outdoor terrace, another spot to gather, with checkered paving and outdoor table seating.
