Will not stay again due to the poor meal arrangements.
Pros:

Rooms were good.

Cons:

Very unsatisfactory arrangements regarding breakfast. The continental breakfast was inadequate for e7.50 and the full breakfast was too expensive at e17.50. Also, a normal hotel practice is to provide breakfast for its guests seven days a week. Not shut down on odd days.

Very comfortable
Pros:

We were very comfortable in our location. The room was lovely. The bed was comfy. We heard from many other people staying, including my partner that the pillows were uncomfortable but I slept like a log

Cons:

I loved the hotel but might not choose it again because of parking which is important to us

Pros:

The hotel was beautiful and in a good location

Cons:

There is no parking so we drove around for an hour to get parking because the rose of tralee was on but if it wasn't so busy there are 2 big car parks near by and plenty on street parking

Wonderful location, great food and staff that went ‘above and beyond’ to make our stay memorable.
Pros:

Great location, very clean and the breakfast was amazing. The staff were wonderful. The young lady on reception was so helpful. We were having our luggage transfered while walking the Dingle Way. She rang us when it had been collected to give us peace of mind. Fantastic service.

Cons:

Nothing at all, it was fantastic.
