Pretty standard as far as hotel rooms itself . (By USA standards )
The lobby and bar/ restaurant and fitness center are where the River Lee stands apart. Very nice
Such a stunning hotel! I wished I stayed there longer. The property is beautifully maintained with a lovely restaurant and bar. Rooms are large and clean. Located in a walkable area surrounded by a lot of attractions. The views of the river is very pretty as well. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and would highly recommend when visiting Cork city.
Easy to find location with good walkability to the sites. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The location for parking was a bit confusing at first, but the staff explained it all and once we understood it - it was a great option. Very accommodating staff and we would stay again.
