My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, with easy access to everything I needed, but the room had some drawbacks like noise from the lift and lack of a good view.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were average; they were clean, but the furniture was old and in need of replacement. However, the warmth of the place and good food made up for it. The service was initially a bit stretched but later turned out to be accommodating. The location was convenient for sightseeing but had some cleanliness issues. The dining offered good options, but the temperature of the food was not consistent.

The hotel had clean and brightly decorated rooms, though it was very loud until late at night with people returning from town, causing disturbances. The friendly and efficient service, especially the short blonde hair girl in the bar/restaurant, made up for the noise. The location was convenient for accessing Killarney town center and the Ring of Kerry, even though the building could use some brightening up and better lighting. The dining experience was good with attentive staff, providing plenty of options for a cut above typical hotel breakfasts.

The hotel offered a clean and cozy room which was handy for storing baby essentials, although some refurbishment was needed for a 4-star experience. The service was a mix of dismissive management and efficient, professional staff. The location, although not quite meeting 4-star standards, was close to town with potential for improvements. The dining experience varied from good with choices to poor with limited hot food options.
