Excellent large room and bathroom, large restaurant and bar (stops serving food at 9 though).... parking next door with an interior link (12 euros a night etc)... property as at the edge of the nightlife and shopping 10-15 minute walk, but clearly an up and coming area - Cork was happening too...

Great location, staff were very pleasant. Parking is self serve and can get a discounted rate by presenting your ticket to the desk. Room was very large, just a weird bathroom layout, not very private for 2 people.
