Moxy Cork
Perfect location for traveling by train. Took train next morning to Cobh to explore there, as well. Only complaint in Cork, no fault of their own, was the weather. I wanted to travel to Kinsale and to Blarney Castle from this location and the weather just didnt cooperate.

Imperial Hotel
Property was gorgeous and staff were very friendly. While there is parking available for this property it is pretty far away from the hotel. The parking garage was nice just a little too far from the hotel.
