The hotel room was missing some essential items like robes, slippers, conditioner, and moisturizer, which affected the pool experience and morning routine. Despite these shortcomings, the room and bed were amazing, spacious, and included a useful fridge. However, the broken curtain and cold breakfast were major disappointments for an anniversary stay.

My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. It has a great location, close to the town center and with convenient access to shopping and dining options. The rooms, although spacious, were quite noisy at night due to loud music from a neighboring bar. The cleanliness could have been improved, as I found makeup left in the wardrobe from a previous guest. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and cozy, perfect for relaxing with friends especially during bad weather, plus I appreciated the pool and sauna facilities. However, I couldn't overlook the fact that I had stayed in a much nicer hotel in Cork for the same price the previous night. Also, the early noise disturbance to our room at 8.15 am was a downside.

The hotel's rooms were lovely but a bit cold, very spacious, clean, and centrally located in the main part of the city. They were also quiet. The service was outstanding, especially considering we were travelling with our 2-month-old baby. The hotel's free shuttle service to the Marquee venue was impeccable. The location was very satisfactory, especially being near Cork's bus depot, with excellent food and friendly, efficient staff. The dining experience, unfortunately, was poor with long waiting times and cold food. However, the facilities were good overall.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, but it was disappointing that the leisure facility was not working during my stay and the noise from the building nearby disturbed my sleep. The air conditioning helped somewhat, but the noise persisted. The location was excellent being close to the water and just a few minutes walk from Patrick St, but the crowded areas made it less enjoyable at times. The dining experience was alright, with a basic selection and the discount on the bedrooms helped a bit with the overall expenses.
