Top O' the Mornin' to ya!

I have now been a full time receptionist at Hotel M for a couple of weeks and I have to say I'm really enjoying it.  I have learned so much about how the hotel runs and operates and the things that have to be done that people don't think about.  There is a lot of analysing things, making things balance and investigating things that don't add up.  It's all really interesting.

I also got to explore the rooms that we have in the hotel a bit more and all I can say is wow.  They rooms are absolutely beautiful, well thought out and impressive in every aspect.  If I could just live in the hotel I would!  The really impressive thing is that it is not a purpose built hotel; the building used to be a Greek Orthodox Church and so some of it is quite awkward and I imagine would have taken quite a lot of consideration in the planning.  They have really utilised all the space really well.

I also recently took a short trip to Dublin where I stayed in an independent hotel about 20 minutes drive from the city centre.  It was called the Tara Towers hotel.  I was really pleasantly surprised by the high standard of this hotel.  The hotel itself was beautiful but more importantly the service was really top notch.  They did everything they could to accommodate our ever need and were incredibly friendly.  Also, the food was delicious and the breakfast buffet was fantastic.   It was a great example of how service should be.  So thank you Tara Towers for a wonderful stay!
