I had a generally pleasant stay at Hotel Isaacs in Cork, thanks to its fantastic location and comfortable amenities. The ambiance in the breakfast room, overlooking a beautiful waterfall, truly enhanced my mornings. However, there were a couple of drawbacks: the noise level in the evenings made it tough to relax, and I found myself wishing for better air conditioning during the warm weather. Overall, I would consider returning for the location and charming vibe! 🌊😊
