If you're driving from the Airport or the M50, come off at junction 6 and then veer left taking the turn for the M3 motorway to Navan/Cavan and not Blanchardstown/Castleknock. Then exit at junction 3 of the M3 at the Blanchardstown Centre beside the Crowne Plaza Hotel Blanchardstown. Take a left turn at the roundabout and the continue straight on past 3 roundabouts, over the Dr Troy bridge, straight on at the next cross junction and then take a left at the T-junction. Continue on this road for approximately 1.5km until you see the hotel on the right hand side.
