THE devil may well be in the details, but it is often details which most impress. All hotels are fairly presentable these days. To make a special impact, imaginative extra touches have been added. Some hotels have major advantages to begin with.
Location is one such.
Family hotels are not in the same league as those which offer leisure centres, evening cabaret dinners and 18-hole championship golf courses. But there are touches which set like apart from like. Take, for example, the person who finds himself in a town or city with business unexpectedly carried over into the next day. Similarly, hotels which pride themselves on being technologically at the leading edge, are mysteriously slow to provide the simplest of adapters which would allow guaranteed modem access between business laptops and homebase mainframe computers. So the technological problem is by no means confined to Ireland.
