The room and hotel itself were wonderful. Only wished they had a menu that was more accessible as we got to cork very late and no options were offered.

Although the lobby area appeared to have been upgraded, the remainder of the hotel needs a good cleaning. Carpets were dirty as was cloth furniture in room. Beds were comfortable, but with the other obvious lack of cleanliness, it was disconcerting.

We booked this hotel because it had a pool and whirlpool but we couldn't use them as they closed early on Sunday, also the service in the bar/restaurant was poor as we had to wait on everything, we the found the bed uncomfortable but overall hotel was clean
