The Merrion Hotel was the most elegant, well kept hotel I've ever had the pleasure to experience. The staff was most kind and helpful. We love room service and The Merrion does it best: a hot box under the roll in table to keep the breakfast warm was wonderful and the room had a chair and bench so we could comfortably sit and dine. These seating options were in addition to the two very comfortable lounge chairs on wheels. The very large room had an operable large, almost double door size, window that overlooked the beautiful formal gardens with fountains and large reflecting pool. The curtains were pale beige houndstooth check woolens with sheers that operated easily. The linens and duvet were European style without a separate sheet, and were pressed but soft as velvet. The heating and cooling temperature control was most responsive and silent, and the fan had three settings so perfect control was possible. The hotel food was of the highest quality with excellent options and preparation but could have been a bit spicier for my taste. Housekeeping was amazing! This hotel was the cleanest of all hotels ever, not a speck of soil, and all fixtures and bedding appeared new. The controls in the shower allowed one to set a temperature for the visit, and then turn on and off with a separate dial. I did not see the pool area but all the public areas were immaculate. The Afternoon Art Tea had delicious tea, the pastries were diverse. Hotel was within easy walking distance of DART train
