A good Hotel in a nice town with lots to offer. Well located for touring Cork/Kerry
Pros:

We enjoyed the Bar on the Saturday night - nice, bright & roomy. Nice music from two young Ladies. Breakfast was fabulous

Cons:

Just a suggestion. In the absence of Life Guards at the swimming pool, more rails to catch on to along the sides

Pros:

Great breakfast, with fantastic staff.

Cons:

Room was cold, no heating. Windows left open, cold night air had filled the room on arrival.. Room heater blowing cold air. Couldn't be fixed on the night. Electric oil radiator supplied.
Twin bed instead of a double, having already paid extra for the room upgrade.
Unfortunately the receptionist tried to defend the heating issue when checking out, attempting to imply that we may have used the heater incorrectly, their own maintenance person who was very nice could not sort it out.

Very enjoyable one night stay. People working there were lovely.
Pros:

Very friendly and well-mannered staff throughout. Bedroom was both very elegant and extremely comfortable - not easy to achieve. Breakfast and dinner were both great with the best mushrooms I've tasted in a long time. Could not fault the hygiene in all areas. Would definitely book again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Had a Comfortable Stay. Lovely staff.
Pros:

The check in was smooth and the staff were friendly. The person at the reception came all the way to the room when We could not find the coffee or tea sachets and kettle. She also called back after our check out when we had forgotten a jacket and offered to post it. Fortunately we were not too far and could come back and collect it.

The dinner ( we had the roast chicken and the Tagliatelle pasta) were very nice. The cocktail was quite decent as well. The pub where had our dinner had a nice ambience.

I saw some other comments that its an old establishment which it is but its they have made the best out of it. The corridors are nicely decorated and lit with a few nice paintings and pictures of the town.

Our room ( superior twin) was spacious and clean .Towels and toiletries were sufficient.

Breakfast had a number of options which were different from the usual. The menu which we were shared could be customized as well.

At the time of booking from the description it sounded like they have on street parking only but they have a parking area which has quite a few slots. We did not have any problems finding a space.

We have an EV car and it was useful that the nearby LIDL/Dunne's parking area had couple of ESB EV chargers.

The beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The walk from the parking lot to the rooms has a few stairs and can be tricky to manage with luggage .The lifts are only available from the reception area which is a bit away from the rear parking lot.

The parking area is a bit difficult to find . Best way to reach is probably look for the next door Supervalue parking on the map.

A positive suggestion.
Pros:

Room 228
All fine except for the shower unit. It did not function properly as I think it is clogged up with limescale. The rest of these units are probably the same. I suggest that these shower units are now past their useful life and should be discarded. They will continue to get worse and annoy the guests.
