The bedroom was too warm and the air conditioning was really loud so we had to turn it off. Breakfast was nice although the Irish breakfast could be a little warmer.

Can't wait to get back.
Pros:

The hotel looks fabulous set to a background of the Kerry Mountains. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner in one of the restaurants and the food was beautiful. We were there for a show in the INEC and that, also, was well done. I had a Disabled Access room and I have to say it was one of the best I have ever been in, from a wheelchair user point of view.

Cons:

I liked everything about the hotel.
