Room was in good condition, with the exception of the faucets. Took a hot second to get water running. Also, didn’t realize how noisy the Cork Jazz Festival would be, so clearly misunderstood that event. Wouldn’t stay here again during the Jazz festival.

We stayed here during the jazz festival. The staff was very accommodating, and we didn't experience any shortcomings not directly attributable to the throngs of people there to see the live performances. I would stay here again.
