I really liked the property. it was set up nice. Location was very convienent to Cork Centre. The staff was excellent, especially at the hotel front desk. They a front desk staffer " Maeve " she was outstanding efficient and very pleasent. The hotel would have gotten five stars, if they didn't have so much rug in the halls and rooms. I would have preferred more hard flooring.
