I've stayed in the Crowne Plaza several times by now and I'm always very happy with it. The room this time was a bit over-the-top in the decor - and if you don't like the colour blue you'll hate it - but it is quiet and has everything you need.
One complaint would be the price of breakfast. If I remember correctly it was somewhere in the region of €20/person. This would be fine if I hadn't been planning lunch that day, but it was so near Christmas time that a large Christmas meal was inevitable so I skipped the breakfast. You are probably better making sure it is included in your room rate. The hotel itself doesn't have a great location but is convenient to the airport and next to the Express by Holiday Inn. They share a shuttle and a carpark.

This hotel still looks brand new, They have a bigger 53 seater shuttle now which they use even if there is two of you!!

Quick and pleasent check in as with all CP and HI.

Breakfast bit expensive if not included in your package 20.95 euro.

Italian restaurant at the end of the road is very nice, it is also next to the bus stop, ideal if it is raining when you get off the bus!!!

All in all excellent hotel, very easy to find and will be returning

I stayed here for one night. Luckily I was upgrade to Club room which was smallish but very nice and spotless. Same goes for the bathroom. There is a coffee maker but very few TV channels to choose from. Overall the hotel and especially its staff made a very good impression on me. The location is good if you want to take a breath and relax from terribly busy Dublin, or if like me, you have a very early flight to catch. On the other hand it takes you ages to get to Dublin through the horrible traffic.
The first shuttle to the airport leaves at 5 in the morning. But I had to leave at 20 to 5 at the latest so I had to take a taxi.
Breakfast is free with the Club room but it only starts at 6. You can't convert your breakfast into some sort room service. Not even a coffee and croissant or something alike. In fact you can't get anything to eat at the hotel before six. As I had been upgraded, for me it was a win some lose some situation. But if you pay for the Club room it is something to consider. Also the Club lounge is nothing special. You get all sorts of free drinks in the evening, but the snacks as well as the atmosphere are somewhat depressing.
Still as a business hotel close to the airport the crowne plaza is a very good deal!

By far the nicest place we stayed in Ireland, and also the most reasonable. Every comfort that you could want in the rooms, including an adapter for American appliances. Nice shower, beds were the most comfortable we stayed in in all of Ireland. Temperature controls in room actually worked, and quite well, although it was in Celcius. Restaurant had exceptional food, though a little different. Everything was clean and new, and the room was quiet. If I go to Ireland again, I most definitely will stay here.
