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.

It&#146;s St Paddy&#146;s Day coming up (17 March) and if you want to go ultra-authentico and spend it in Dublin, you&#146;d better get your planning skates on. <p>But here&#146;s the good news &#150; pricewise, places seem to be less than extortionate, considering Dublin is an extortionate city, even on the off season.

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.
