Nice, relaxing stay at Cork International Hotel
Pros:

The foyer of the hotel is absolutely gorgeous. I love the sofas and art books and the aircraft pieces around the public areas. Highly original - the hotel really feels like it has soul and not part of a faceless chain. Gorgeous!

Cons:

Dining is a bit chaotic. We had dinner there but must have been served by at least 8 waiting staff. I've worked in hospitality and it's much better to assign certain tables to certain staff so that there's continuity.

Hotel in good location to Airport. However room for improvement with inspections of guests rooms.
Pros:

I liked that the hotel was convenient to travel to Cork Airport in five minutes. Friendly shuttle bus driver. Spacious bedrooms. Interesting oriental incorporated interior design throughout the hotel.

Cons:

I was not too impressed with how I was treated by a male receptionist, regarding problems I had with the room. I felt he could of been a bit more friendly and accommodating regarding this matter.
