Imperial Hotel
The stay was nice overall. We enjoyed the parking, and the location was nice. The rooms were a little tight because my mom was in a wheelchair. The hallways weren’t suited for a wheelchair either. The front desk lady was super friendly, and so were the breakfast buffet workers.

Isaacs Hotel Cork City
Beautiful fireplaces in the main lobby and cozy places to sit. My oldest kiddo (who is hard to impress) thought our apartment style rooms were excellent value for money.
