This was a deluxe stay! The restaurant and bar were great! And the property is lovely! The only downside is that it is quite a drive in to town and we couldn’t really walk anywhere.

Very average hotel

I had booked a single room with a double bed, got a family room with two singles and a double. Shower head at tap level and no shower curtain. Not good if you’re 6foot. Restaurant staff very good food not great.

3 night stay 1st night Lakewood AFC had their awards night. 3 Players running around the first floor banging on bedroom doors not sure who was responsible for these young lads aged 13/14 I take it parents or coaches possibly, (my door 4 times within 30mins) reported it to hotel manager he was sympathetic but it didn’t stop. Got a phone call from receptionist making sure I’d checked in as it wasn’t logged on the system all this my first night I thought Faulty Towers. However things got better after that. Food was good. Staff were ok But won’t be in any hurry to stay there again whilst in Cork.

We booked 2 double rooms,1 room smelled musty like a dirty mop, they came in and sprayed the floor which made it slightly better, the other room was in fact a family room (for 1 person) this room smelt like sewerage. After several conversations we were offered another room, the new room was a downgrade from what was booked, we are still waiting on confirmation of compensation.
