Commodore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful when we discovered that there were no electrical outlets near the beds (we needed one for my wife’s CPAP). They cane up with 2 extension cords that we could string across the room."

Isaacs Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good

"The most difficult and inconvenient aspect of our stay was the parking. The parking garage is two blocks away. No assistance with transporting your luggage to your room. Once we checked into the hotel, we had to walk a considerable distance with our luggage to the apartment building that we were staying in. The location is great for visiting bars, restaurants, shopping, etc. The street below our apartment remained busy throughout the night. A city worker worked through the night and wee hours of the morning pressure washing the sidewalks. No noise ordinance. The sidewalks and streets were quite clean. 🤗"

Parkavon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed a quick overnight. Beds were comfortable. Ample parking. One of the reasons for booking was Expedia listed that it had laundry facilities but it was more laundry services. The reception was helpful in providing alternatives such as the self service laundry machines by the Circle K. She was even going beyond helpful by checking if it comes with detergent or if I need to purchase my own. I did not opt to use the self service as it wasn’t convenient for me at that time."
