Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was spacious and spotlessly clean, but the location was marred by noise from rowdy guests at the bar. The staff were outstanding in their service, notwithstanding some disturbances from maintenance activities. The convenient location near Blarney Castle and easy bus access to Cork city was a major plus. The dining experience was generally lovely, although additional charges for some items were disappointing. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few hiccups.
