Normally when we think of the toiletry offerings at Holiday Inn Hotels, we think of soap, shampoo, lotion and if we're lucky conditioner. But at the Holiday Inn Express at the Dublin Airport, the hotel offers guests additional amenities like shaving cream, disposable razor, toothpaste, comb, toothbrush, cotton wool and even special stuff for the ladies.

This "Forgot Something" was snapped by HotelChatter Flickr contributor (UggBoy♥UggGirl) and we've found out that all Holiday Inn Express hotels now have the "Forgot Something" extra amenities program (and have been for a few years now.)

We could deal with that Well oill be damned (say that in an Irish accent, it might make more sense). Its St Paddys Day coming up (17 March) and if you want to go ultra-authentico and spend it in Dublin, youd better get your planning skates on. But heres the good news pricewise, places seem to be less than extortionate, considering Dublin is an extortionate city, even on the off season. We just checked out two of Dublins poshest hotels: the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Clarence/local/1114">Clarence</a>, which is owned by Bono and his greasy chums, and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Dylan+Hotel/local/986">Dylan</a>, which is so sleek it has no need of dodge celeb booking.

Dublin Strikes Again with a Hotel Anti-View

<![CDATA[You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing, it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view. <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/30451/crowneplza_dublin_antiview.jpg" class="imgborder"> This rather grim view was what greeted hotel fan <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/uggboy/">uggboy</a> during

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/Drunk_Cards.jpg" class="top"> On a trip to Dublin recently, we decided to be brave and rent a car. We also decided to shack up one night at a B&B. When we arrived at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Kilronan+House/ian/233560">Kilronan House</a> in Dublin and didn't see the valetfree parking was a selling pointwe pulled our rental into the adjacent driveway. A man from the business that owned said adjacent driveway came out and started screaming while we patiently explained our sitch. Then our concierge/valet/white knight Cormac came out, politely smiled at the screaming man while ignoring his nastiness and parked our car. Talk about service with a smile. We followed Cormac into the white-pillared Georgian-style bed and breakfast, which blends in nicely with the
