Pros:

The hotel is just an easy few blocks walk from town. The real attraction here, that I missed until breakfast, is the incredible view from the dining room. The room had a coffee pod machine and there were water refill stations at the end of the hall. Staff was great and attentive.
The bad: There is no air conditioning in the guest rooms (not needed while we were there), but especially with allergies, I’d prefer not to rely on open windows to keep things comfortable. They do have radiant heat that cycles on at night and we had some difficulty not getting too hot at night.
It’s been a while since the hotel’s last remodel and while the property is clean. The rust in the tub was unattractive. I was disappointing that there were no USB chargers in the room. While most outlets were the standard 3 flat prongs, the bedside outlets had the older round prongs, so my adapters were of use. Another nit, I’m an early riser and the bathroom light switch isn’t the one closest to the bathroom door (it was the middle switch between two other switches) Fumbling around the dark, it was difficult to turn on the bathroom light without hitting the wrong switch and waking my wife.
All-in-all a nice hotel and I would stay here again.

Pros:

The facility is very tired, especially the fitness center. Some of the staff are absolutely spectacular while others seem not to know the basics of hospitality. As an example of the latter, when it was time for us to check out, we were given a bill for a spa treatment that we have been told would cost €55. When the hotel charged us €65, I asked for an explanation. We even called the spa to get clarification on the person who answered the phone said that the cost was €55, but she said she would check to make sure and came back and said it was €65. The fact that she originally told us it was 55 was consistent with what we had been told when we booked the treatment. The person at the front desk should’ve said, “of course we will honor the price that you were given,” but instead she said, “ I’ll make a note of it.” She even repeated herself, as if somehow that was good for me. Ridiculous.

Lovely seaside resort in Dingle
Pros:

The hotel is really a full services resort with an indoor heated pool, excellent exercise facilities, very good food, within walking distance of everything to do in Dingle and accessible to the loop around the Dingle peninsula. The views of the Dingle Harbor are lovely. Breakfast was great with a very attentive staff.

Getting there from Kinsale was harrowing- the roads are very narrow, multiple large buses were coming from the opposite direction and it was raining hard.

Lovely stay but some unexpected aspects
Pros:

First time to Ireland, so we were not aware there was no air conditioning, no usable outlets in the bathroom or on the headboard wall, and no ice machines for drinks consumed in the room.

A property in this price range should have AC. The little ‘beach’ near the property was dirty/a lot of trash.
