Lovely hotel and special touch for Easter weekend

Great weekend. Room was big for three of us and they provided a baby cot. Extra special touch when they got in touch with the Easter bunny to make sure all the children in the hotel had an egg hiding in their room

To be honest, the Clayton Hotel surpassed our expectations. The staff were courteous and polite, ever willing to help. The room was spacious and equipped with modern amenities that met our needs. Our room was a nice place of refuge after exploring the City daily. We utilised the swimming pool, which was a hit with the family, who enjoyed daily swims. Overall, our stay was excellent and memorable. When we visit Cork, The Clayton Hotel will be our accommodation of choice. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

When we walked in to check in the ladies at the desk were talking. I walked up to the kiosk that you have to do everything on and it was not pulling my name up. When I asked for help I kind of got that they were annoyed I asked for help. We got to our room as though the bed is comfy and our view was great… the floors had so many stains, the bathroom was dirty. We didn’t spend much time in the room because of this.
