Friendly staffGreat breakfast variety
JeanneUnited StatesIt was ok
Pretty on the inside
There was an awful odor in the hotel and especially our room. Even upon unpacking at home my clothes carried that odor. Didn’t care for the loud music or the pub
PatriciaUnited StatesWe really didn't eat breakfast but the food was a step above the normal fare.
Our floor had an area that said guest laundry, but there was none. Our swims suits never dried and there was nothing we could do about it.

Questions about Irish Cottage Inn & Suites
What time is check-in and check-out at Irish Cottage Inn & Suites?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Irish Cottage Inn & Suites allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Irish Cottage Inn & Suites?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Irish Cottage Inn & Suites have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Irish Cottage Inn & Suites?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Irish Cottage Inn & Suites have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Irish Cottage Inn & Suites?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Irish Cottage Inn & Suites have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Irish Cottage Inn & Suites?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Irish Cottage Inn & Suites?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
