The Travel Lodge North Swords is in an excellent location for airport arrivals and departures. It has 24 hour front desk staff and security and the rooms and hallways are really very clean. The rooms are of an average size, the bathroom newly refurbished but the room itself needed updating. The carpet didn't reach to the side wall and the carpet tacks were visible and easily stood on. There was no hairdryer, limited tea and coffee etc, but was acceptable for a night or two stay.
Most of all what I didn't like was the area. The grounds were unkept and had rubbish dumped in places, the building is old on the outside and my room faced the car park that was noisy with undesirables hanging around. The public transport was there but was difficult to access, but the town of Swords was about a 10 minute walk away. Bottom line is that the Travel Lodge is very reasonably priced and you get what they claim on the ads, but what you get is just basic accommodation.
