Good place, nice staff, close to Cork city
Close to Cork City, a nice walk. Parking limited but we snagged one and there is on street parking but it's hotly contested, I think. Nice facilities - restaurant, and hotel shares gym, pool, steam room and sauna with a fitness centre. Good hot shower and comfy bed, room a little small for 2 queens but completely fine for the money.

Cleanliness was the largest concern for us. The property is under renovation, which is fine but not what contributed to the facility. The shower curtain was covered in mold, the toilet was dirty, there were finger prints everywhere. These result from poor cleaning practices not construction. Location was ok although there are others much closer to the center. Parking was horrible. There is a tiny parking lot in front of the hotel that everyone battles to get in and out of just to unload and then you have to park several streets over. Breakfast was ok. The staff were pleasant and welcoming, but I would not recommend the property itself.

Compensation not given after being discussed
Parking was not good. Stated parking available but had to park blocks down and put a scratch off discounting the parking fees with a map of garages to go. Very confusing: Two twins put together that didn’t line up when I booked for a king. Spent $677 for two nights slept horrible 1st night due to the uneven bed situation. Woke up to only have the shower be cold and then would not shut off had to get management up right away and she shut it off and offered another room as we had no shower and expressed our concerns with sleep Stated she was going to comp breakfast but I told her are breakfast was already included for two nights and she said she would look into it and get back on a way to compinsate. Had to wait until after breakfast a few hours later to pack up all our stuff to move to another room. Roomed seems to be ok but bed situation more durable but still not a king and water still had difficulty getting it to come to temperature. When I talked to the desk she said there was nothing documented on a compensation or credit because we chose to move but we explained we had no choice. She said she would talk to other manager. As we were leaving she informed us they would not compensate. Very disappointed as we spent a lot of money at the bar having dinner and drinks which the employees on that end we were wonderful. If nothing can be done on a credit to my account, poor recommendations to social media, definitely know about our stay and

Hotel is in a very walkable section of the city, easy to access the shopping section. Small parking but we were fortunate to arrive when someone else was leaving and we manage to find a spot. The hotel itself seems a bit older, was being renovated when we stayed there, but did not impact our stay, everything went well

This is at best a 1-2 star place that I’d never stay at again. Why? 1) noise: doors and walls are paper thin. I was up all night hearing people, doors slamming, or just general noise from other tenants. 2) parking: finest parking on the property with only 1 way out. It is first come, first serve so a space may not be available so you’ll end up paying 3) construction: pricey stay despite the 1st floor having so much construction. 4) pillows: this may be an Ireland thing, but the pillows are rock hard. personally had the worse sleep at this hotel throughout my 1 week stay. Guinness at the bar did nothing to help with all the negatives.

Unfortunately the hotel was undergoing a refurbishment during our stay which we were not aware of nor was this reflected in the price. The condition of the room was fairy poor too, radiator not working (broken thermostatic valve), bath was chipped and badly stained and the basin tap was loose. The only positives of our 2 night stay was the location and the friendly check in.
