We enjoyed our stay at Cork Intern'l Hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful. People of all ages, and from a variety of contexts (families with small children, professionals, young and older couples, grandparents with families) co-existed in the generous public spaces seamlessly. It was very hospitable. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The distance to Cork City is a straight shot down hill, easy to navigate. Parking is easy and free. There is a farm next door and each morning I enjoyed watching the cows run in a line, mooing, to go get milked. Our challenge was our room key. It failed every single time, and we had to go wait in line at the front desk to get it rekeyed. I was told that they are changing the locks, so this should be remedied soon.
