Dublin hotel for family group?

Anyone know of a Dublin hotel (preferably in the city center) with rooms for 4 - 3 s and 1 child?

According to Expedia, Best Western Ashling - across the street from the Guiness Brewery - has a family room but I'm not sure if the location is OK. There's also Christchurch Hall apartments next to Christchurch Cathedral. Better Location?

Also, I could spend my Starwood points and stay at the Westin but I'd need two rooms for two nights and only have points for 3 - not 4 - so we'd be paying for one.

Any other suggestions? advice?

Thanks!
Deb

You could check Jury's Inn Christchurch...I believe they have family rooms, but I'm not sure of the details. Can't help with Starwood points.

I had reservations at Jury's Christchurch. Their website says the capacity of each room is 3 people. There were 4 of us and when I asked about a cot, they said we would need 2 rooms. Don't know if it would be different with a child. Other Jury's hotels in Dublin do have rooms for 4, but Christchurch is the best location.

I had tried Jury's Inn Christchurch. The can accomodate 3 adults OR 2 adults and 2 children but NOT 3 adults and 1 child. I believe I've found something that will work, however. Molesworth Court has 2br apartments that sound perfect. MC is highly regarded on Trip Advisor so we're giving it a shot.

Thanks for the ideas.

Molesworth court sounds great does it have a website? Please post. I am not keen on the aisling Hotel and would not reccommend it. The area has picked up but the hotel I do not like.

The Molesoorth Court website is just what you'd expect: http://www.molesworthcourt.ie/

Debrown - That is an excellent location and you are in the heart of things but the street is quiet. There is a lovely italian place called Dunne and Crescrenzi on S. Frederick street in the area and great for lunch coffee or a light snack.

We stayed in the Harcourt Hotel. Walking distance to St. Stephens Green, about 20 minutes walk to Temple Bar. The rates were reasonable, and we did find a family room that fit the four of us. You can find it on some of the cheap hotel sites. It's safe, fairly cheap, and has a decent pub downstairs. Try to book a room in the back of the hotel, if possible, to avoid the street noise.
