Residence Inn by Marriott Cork

We had an excellent stay at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Cork. The room was very clean and well appointed, with a kitchenette and upgraded amenities, like a Keurig, tea kettle, oven/microwave and a great selection of teas and coffee. It is situated right across from the Cork City center. The hotel has a sister hotel, the Moxy which had a great bar and restaurant for nights we didn't care to walk to one of the local restaurants or pubs. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, offering information for local sightseeing and tips for navigating the city. Overall we would definitely recommend this Redidence Inn to anyone staying in Cork City.

We absolutely loved this hotel! It is new and beautifully decorated. They gave us a very large room with a spacious kitchenette along one wall and a table and chairs. We had a closet for our clothes and a luggage rack. Breakfast is included in the price. They had gluten-free granola and bread, but it is not set out with the other food. You have to request that it be brought to you which can take some time. There is a good assortment of other hot and cold items that my husband enjoyed. The laundry room was very nice and free to use. They even provide detergent! I loved that we could do 2 loads of laundry at the same time. There was also a nice gym that we didn't have time to use, but lots of other people did. The front desk staff went out of their way to be helpful. We loved the location, too. It was an easy walk to both the bus and train stations and just across the river from the main shopping street.

We were given an accessible room, which we didn't neccessarily need, but it was actually better for showering. The room was a good size with good air conditioning and a very comfortable bed. All the staff were very friendly and attentive, but especially Gisele and Svenia. The hotel was also in an excellent location, only 5 mins walk to the centre (or 10 if you add on waiting for green lights to cross the roads!)

Excellent front desk staff, helped us with restaurant recommendations. Very good breakfast and comfortable lounge area. Laundry facilities included. There is a nice fitness facility, we did not partake because the weather was good for outdoor activities. Very comfortable beds.

This is the best stay yet on my extended travels in Ireland. A spacious room with kitchenette, and a nice big bathroom with shampoo, conditioner and moisturiser included. The breakfasts were excellent and the location near the city centre allowed easy access to public transport for those not driving. Front desk staff were lovely and very helpful but housekeeping came at weird times and once didn't come at all... first world problem.
