We stayed there for five nights and came away feeling that we got our money's worth with a hotel that delivered what it promised.

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"><b>Kilronan House</b></a> in <b>Dublin</b> and didn't see the valet&#151;free parking was a selling point&#151;we 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.
