Lunch in welcoming surroundings in Tralee
Pros:

My mother and I enjoyed a fantastic lunch at the Rose Hotel in Tralee this week. From arrival we were exquisitely well looked after. Duty Manager Anne Doona greeted us, advised us there would be a short wait for a suitable table but invited us to look at the lunch menus in comfortable chairs in the lobby. As soon as she had a table she escorted us to the dining room as the bar was still too busy. Anne’s warm welcome and her genuine interest in our comfort was incredible and we were delighted to chat a little with her as she handed us over to our server who was also excellent. If you are looking for somewhere terrific for lunch in Tralee give the Rose Hotel a go, you won’t be disappointed, the food was excellent and prices were good.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

So many positives . . . I contacted the hotel by email prior to our stay with regard to storing my elderly father's eye drops in a cold place. I was so impressed with how quickly I got a reply from Maud. She was so helpful and it put our minds at rest. This may seem like a small thing to some but what a good impression it gives of the hotel and the efficiency of the staff. Also, this is not the level of service that I experienced at a different hotel a couple of years ago when asking for recommendations for a mobile hairdresser as we were staying over for 2 nights for a wedding. The email was ignored. Not a great start .Moving on from there , lovely warm friendly welcome. The complimentary tea/coffee and scones is a lovely touch, particularly for those who have travelled a distance. My parents have been to the hotel many times and my mother said that she loves this welcome treat as she feels that it’s the first time that she can relax and look forward to the break after the ironing and packing the days before.The rooms were very spacious and so comfortable. Fantastic to have a fridge to keep water cool. The breakfast buffet and menu . . . . well , there was absolutely everything available and everything was beautiful.The dinner menu is fantastic and having a specials menu each night makes dinner time more exciting. It seems crazy to say but I think that portion size is perhaps too big. Others may disagree. I feel bad mentioning the staff last as it is because of the staff that everything is so great. Every member of staff was friendly , helpful , efficient . . . but for me , it was the friendliness and the warmth that stood out. They all seem to be so happy in their roles. I am so annoyed that I didn't get everyone's name (I only asked Reuben, Aileen and Maud) as everyone, and I mean everyone, was brilliant. Those of you whose names I didn't get, rest assured that we thought just as highly of you. So looking forward to returning. Well done to all of you and thank you all most sincerely. Keep up the good work.
