groupon picture misleading

shangri la · 2012-02-24 16:22:07

The dublin skylon hotel is a hotel in Drumcondra yet the picture on groupon implies it is directly on the quays and so right in the city centre. http://www.groupon.ie/deals/getaways/best-western-dublin-skylon-hotel/3542110?nlp=&CID%3DIE_CRM_10_0_0_55

Not really

Its a picture of the H'penny Bridge
And their main page says

Highlights
•Elegant, modern hotel
•Restaurant and traditionally designed bar on-site
•Close to Croke Park
•Roughly three miles from the city centre

It's definitely a misleading picture.

It's just a typical City landscape picture of Dublin. Doesn't say it's taken from the hotel. I think you're making something from nothing. Surely you research a hotel before booking and don't rely on website pictures - even checking out the hotel's own website is a start. See where it clearly says it is 3 miles from centre? Stuff & nonsense. :rolleyes:
