The stay was nice overall. We enjoyed the parking, and the location was nice. The rooms were a little tight because my mom was in a wheelchair. The hallways weren’t suited for a wheelchair either. The front desk lady was super friendly, and so were the breakfast buffet workers.

Room was in good condition, with the exception of the faucets. Took a hot second to get water running. Also, didn’t realize how noisy the Cork Jazz Festival would be, so clearly misunderstood that event. Wouldn’t stay here again during the Jazz festival.

We stayed here during the jazz festival. The staff was very accommodating, and we didn't experience any shortcomings not directly attributable to the throngs of people there to see the live performances. I would stay here again.
