4/10 Fair

3 night stay 1st night Lakewood AFC had their awards night. 3 Players running around the first floor banging on bedroom doors not sure who was responsible for these young lads aged 13/14 I take it parents or coaches possibly, (my door 4 times within 30mins) reported it to hotel manager he was sympathetic but it didn’t stop. Got a phone call from receptionist making sure I’d checked in as it wasn’t logged on the system all this my first night I thought Faulty Towers. However things got better after that. Food was good. Staff were ok But won’t be in any hurry to stay there again whilst in Cork.
