Irish hotels: Popular Dublin lodge OPEN and issues update on residents 'booking room to bang mistress'

A popular Dublin hotel has confirmed that it will be open but for essential workers only after receiving requests from those looking to book in for a boinking.

Paul Stenson is the notorious owner of the White Moose Cafe which is part of the Charleville Lodge hotel on the North Circular Road.

The lodge and cafe are one of the most popular places in the city, not only for their fantastic food, but for Paul's tongue-in-cheek promotions and social media antics.

He said he was delighted to confirm that his business would battle on through strict restrictions offering a place to stay for essential workers.

Hotels and other accommodations are allowed to remain open but only for those with “essential non-social and non-tourist purposes”.

The rooms in the lodge have been newly refurbished with Paul saying that they're offering "keen prices" considering the times.

But for randy want-to-be residents looking for a "quick cheeky ride", you have been warned that you can look elsewhere.

Paul said: "We are delighted to advise that Charleville Lodge is open for business during Lockdown 2.

"However, our rooms are available for essential workers only - not to bang the mistress.

"So, if you are an essential worker and you’d like to stay in our newly refurbished rooms at very keen prices, check us out now.

"If you’re looking for a quick cheeky ride, please feck off and go elsewhere."

In January 2018, the hotel became well-known when it got into a social media rift with popular English blogger Elle Darby, who asked for a free stay in exchange for a shout-out on her popular Youtube channel.

Manager Paul Stenson shared a photo of the email on the company's Facebook page, in which the influencer revealed she was hoping for a free stay to enjoy St Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend.

He decided to share his public response to her, taking to Facebook to question who would pay the costs of the influencer's stay.

He asked: "If I let you stay here in return for a feature in your video, who is going to pay the staff who look after you?"
