Great Location
Pros:

Great location next to the airport and minutes from Cork City Centre. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We didn't have breakfast but enjoyed a coffee in the lobby.

Cons:

Unfortunately the shower pressure was poor - I asked the reception to check it out when I was away but there was no change when I arrived back (rm339)
There was also an abundance of cigarette ends outside our room on the balcony.

Finally and its a personal one. The hotel has adapted an American diner theme with funky toilets, multicoloured lights, carpets and signs throughout. I think its due an upgrade and refresh to bring it up to 2026 standards
