Nice comfortable room with stairs
Lots of stairs even with elevators, there was stairs up and down everywhere to get to the room and then in the room there were more stairs to lift luggage.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dooley's Hotel. The food was delicious, both for breakfast and in the bar. We enjoyed the live music at night, and it was a comfortable stay. The only issue was you can hear what everyone is doing above you. Luckily we had ear plugs to drown it out, but sometimes it sounded like folks playing rugby at 3am! Other than that, the room was comfortable and the staff was amazingly helpful!
