Not great. Would not recommend
Pros:

Not alot

Cons:

Staff gave impression they didnt want to be there. Breakfast inedible. Was well over cooked and dry. Everything chewy. Tv didnt work. Curtains hard to close. Did not slide properly. Blood on curtain. Bed ends torn and fraying. Would not recommend or stay here again. Nicer places for a few extra $$.

I loved Killarney and would return.
Pros:

I liked the room the size of the hotel was amazing I loved the pool, the breakfast was so good plenty of variety the servers at the tables were so helpful and lovely .the shop was good very handy for treats and ice cream .

Cons:

I honestly believe that the reception staff could be a bit more friendly in the whole time I was there not one of them smiled .
I think this hotel would benefit from a different arrangement for dinning and breakfast as the queues were quiet long.
