S3226 Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross

Dalata hotels don't really seem to look at their bars as major profit centres, with them often being very constrained or even closed; so I was vaguely expecting another bottle of Heineken in a lobby like my most recent Dalata visit.

But no, there is actually a fairly big bar here, open to the public up until the mid evening. It isn't particularly interesting, but there isn't another pub in this end of Clondalkin - well, not until the next hotel - so it may be useful for weekends.
