wouldn't stay again

Pros: nothing
Cons: eeverything
Went to the hotel for one night got there car park was full sign outside said if full talk to reception i taught maybe an overflow area. Spoke to the guy behind the desk ignorant is to nice a word told me i would have to sit in the car and wait till space became free or park on road outside and (pay) car park has about 15 spots that are all taking up by staff id say as there would be more than 15 working there. on internet describes parking as limited. but 15 spaces for such a big hotel is shocking...... only good point in the hotel were the bar staff very nice made us feel welcome and very helpful. But the reception desk ... these people are working with the public everyday... my good there manners a disgrace (not all i will add) i got up the next morning to find out the 189 i paid did not include breakfast i had to pay a charge of 29 euro for the breakfast. for it only to be have cooked like something a child had put together....sausages half cooked i wouldn't let my kids eat them scrambled egg was overflowing with water all and all not a great experience... but one thing is for sure i will not being staying there again id rather sleep on the streets in cork ...

house of horrors next to grave yard

Pros: carpark
Cons: staff,a bit of hospitality training would help, carpet in bedroom and stairs one without a big stain or patch would do.
Location: nothing really outstanding.
hotel staff never had a pleasant look on their faces always seemed to be over worked,having an evening meal meant the whole evening waiting and when starter arrived the one slice of brown bread could have been used as an anvil it was so hard, but the waitress didnt seem to mind when we brought it to her notice she just changed it for another hard one not as hard. no soap or toilet brush in room,when my wife asked for a jug for some milk she was given a glass and told there was a shortage of jugs, room cleaner knocking the bedroom door at 8.30 am wanting to get in and clean the room laughable.
