We’ve all been there when you live somethere other than the capital: an early morning flight from Dublin Airport appears on the holiday agenda and so you’re faced with that dilemma of either grabbing an ungodly hour Aircoach or splashing out on an overnight stay at an airport hotel. Cork Airport may have been out of action for the past few months (and fortunately, for just one more week!) but overnight stays at Dublin Airport hotels remain very much a travel mainstay for non-capital dwellers. So what are the current options? As I embarked on my first international flight in almost two years earlier this month, I checked out the newest of them all, the Holiday Inn Dublin Airport, to see if it’s worth the overnight.
