Didn't like the wait to check in at reception. They should have had someone else working if it gets that busy. Also, prior to arrival no information was given about where to park by the hotel, which was awful. We parked in the wrong one and had to pay around $100 cad dollars for less than 24 hours. Also, the parking lot was quite a walk from the hotel and it would have been the same distance if we parked in the one they wanted us to park in. Just very disappointing. Our least favorite hotel in our 2 week Ireland stay.
The room I reserved on Expedia was the not the same type of room that was reserved at the property. Expedia also indicated the room we reserved was suitable for 4 adults, the property agent said that rooms were only suitable for 2 adults even though we reserved a room with 3 beds. The room was also dirty, the shower had a brown substance on the walls and there were dirty socks left in a drawer.

Hospital bathroom
They put me in a handicap accessible room with a bathroom that looked like a hospital. Not the vibe I was looking for on my vacation, sorry.
Great location!
Great staff!
Bed and rooms super comfy .
Only knock would be it can be a little loud from other rooms doors in same hallway and bathrooms above. If you are a light sleeper it could be an issue. A soft closer on hotel room.doors could fix a lot as that was the worst part.
The room itself was nice, but with the endless amount of children dining for free, guests of the hotel are overlooked.
As for the parking, there is none. The rate Expedia quotes is wrong and the parking lot itself overcharged us dramatically.
Overall, this is the one and only time I will stay at a Premier Inn.

I stayed in the premiere inn on Saturday the 3rd of August. I booked through Expedia where they charged my card for the stay when I checked in to the premiere i was charged again. It’s 2 weeks since our stay and I still have not been refunded
Nice and new hotel on the river with parking being validated . Good shower pressure. Comfy bed . We had the family room with an extra bed which was convenient. We got a good deal for breakfast buffet which was excellent.
The only feedback was that it seemed understaff, we had to pick up toilet paper and towels ourselves and never got the iron we requested. Also during check-in the staff wanted to charge us twice when it had been paid online and was more complicated than it needed to be.
Perfect location to explore Cork City. Right next to River Lee. Good service and good food.

Liked: Staff & service
First off, the staff are wonderful! Location was good. We did not get the room we booked. A cot was thrown in as the third bed and the room was cramped. The room was also not very clean. Garbage was not emptied in the bathroom and the bathtub could have been cleaner. Breakfast was very good and again the staff were great.
