We enjoyed our stay at the Jurys last weekend. The rooms are small, but very nice. The bed is super-comfy. We were traveling with our one year old daughter, something I would not really recommend since the rooms are so small and the common areas less than kid-friendly. While the decor of the hotel is very nice, in my opinion the random details that I assume are meant to be "hip" look out of place and just weird. For example, the glittery stuff on the back wall of the elevator -- what's up with that? Also, the stairs from the bar to the front desk area that change color every few minutes are just ugly. I guess these are a continuation of the happening bar downstairs that adjoin them.
We very much enjoyed the food we had from the hotel -- a delicious room service breakfast and a lunch in the bar was tasty, too. I did find it odd that the bar was the only place for lunch, though. Being the trendy place that it is, it wasn't really a cozy place for lunch on a wet Saturday, particularly with a kid in tow. Also, I searched high and low for a cup of tea on Sat. afternoon (it is an Irish hotel after all!) and was told the bar, again, was the only option.
The staff was very friendly. We received a great breakfast recommendation -- Charlie's, a Mom and Pop greasy spoon diner with very good food in the South End, about a 10 minute walk away. Highly recommended!
