Clayton Hotel Cork City
Hotel was a bit run down and could use some upgrades. Also located next to a bar, so it’s quite noisy until very late in the evening. Generally overpriced base on condition of the property. Upside is that it’s a great location. Very convenient to rail station and popular attractions
