    Im looking for suggestions for accommodation as close as possible to the O2.
    A reasonably priced hotel with family room and parking if possible.
    Im bringing two young kids to WWE in may so want to keep walking to a minimum.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    The Gibson is literally next door. There is also Jurys on the quays, Clarion IFSC or the Maldron on Sir John Rogersons Quay. These are all within very reasonable walking distance.
    The O2 is literally the last stop on the red line luas so a hotel a few stops down nearer the city might be worth looking at also.

    All of the hotels in the area (city centre included) will jack their prices up when there is something on at the O2, no matter what day of the week it is. It's very hard to get a deal, unless you book something the very day that an event is announced and hope that the hotels themselves take a day or two to cop on to the event being on.

    Just so you know - the Red Cow Hotel is about a 5-10min walk from the Red Cow Luas Stop. It's pretty straightforward: you go back the way the tram came, down the main road and over the footbridge. So if you're getting the Luas out, don't panic when it zooms past the hotel on the left - you haven't missed the stop.

    Oh, and DON'T use Google Maps for walking directions! They don't seem to know that the pedestrian walkway is there and send you on a mad loop around Clondalkin instead...
