The property was perfectly located. We read many reviews about parking being an issue. The reason the parking is a few blocks away is because the area near the hotel becomes mostly pedestrian at night creating a great scene for vacationers. There is a loading zone directly in front the hotel so you don’t have to lug your luggage. The bar was excellent with live music. This is a luxury hotel and would stay again on our next trip to Cork.

Skip the Imperial
Our room was small. The sheets and wall was dirty. The fuse blew the first night so we had no electricity the first night. The staff did repair the problem quickly once reported. We also had tea at the hotel which was very disappointing. The cost was 45 per people and there were no choices. One server was vacuuming the floors during our tea service.

Good Cork Location
We arrived from a long drive and found it difficult to pull up in front of the hotel, around 3 times before we could stop to unload. Parking was quite a long walk away. The hotel interiors were comfortable enough and the breakfast was good. The location, especially if you don't have a car is great for getting around. Cork was a bit confusing for a tourist, generally ok.
