Premier Inn Cork City Centre
Staff was really helpful. Great location and bed was comfy. Room was clean and modern. Breakfast was good. Parking was a few minute walk away and it was awkward to temporarily stop in front of the hotel to load and unload bags due to construction, but otherwise we had a great stay.
