Sure, it's a chain, but the Days Inn Talbot Street has only been a Days Inn for a year and a half. This means a new coat of paint, plush carpets, and a friendly staff that's eager to please. The ambiance is cheerful, and the location is very convenient—the lovely Garden of Remembrance is just to the north, and the Liffey is a few blocks south.
The best and worst aspects of the Days Inn Talbot Street have to do with Talbot Street itself, a busy strip swamped with tourists pouring in and out of the souvenir shops and restaurants. It's also adjacent to the pedestrian-only Henry Street area, which is lined with department stores and international chains.
The decor throughout the hotel is contemporary with a primary color scheme and modern art prints. Rooms are clean and pleasant, if a bit cramped, and stocked with all the expected chain hotel conveniences, from fluffy duvets to pay movies. Most of the "family" rooms, aka triples, have bathtubs.
There are vending machines in the lounge-cum-breakfast room. And on warm summer days, you can have your breakfast on the pleasant patio.
