Lovely hotel, Excellent location.
Pros:

Booked 2 nights in The Emmet hotel while visiting Clonakilty, Cork. Beautiful hotel, loved our stay. Location great, staff friendly & helpful and we got parking right outside hotel. Our room was lovely, absolutely loved the desk at mirror, with chair and sockets to do hair / makeup. Bed comfortable and shower was prefect.
My only criticism was no USB ports or net curtain/ blind on window. The main curtain let in alot of light at 5am.
Will definitely book again on my next visit to cork!
