Beautiful hotel finished to a very high standard!
Pros:

Hotel is beautiful. It has been built to an extremely high standard. No corners were cut here. Definity worth a stay

Cons:

Just a bit expensive, but everything is at the moment. It was cheaper than other hotels in Tralee but €330 for a night with 2 adults and 1 child is expensive!! At that price you certainly would not afford to stay there for more than 1 night.

ottimi posizione, pulizia e personale
Pros:

Personale accogliente, tutti i locali comuni puliti e ben arieggiati. la colazione alla carta è stata di qualità,

Cons:

abbiamo soggiornato nel finesettimana e al piano terra si trova il pub con musica dal vivo, quindi stanza rumorosa ma solo dalle 21.30 alle 23.30, (in camera trovate i tappi per le orecchie), il traffico praticamente inesistente, a parte qualche schiamazzo poi da mezzanotte tutto tranquillo. per la colazione avrei preferito un buffet con più offerta salata

Pros:

Great location. Newly built so rooms look great.

Cons:

Room 109 was above the bar and the noise and singing meant we couldn't get to sleep until after midnight. Early morning wake up when the noise in the bar started up again in preparation for breakfast.
When I addressed at check out I got a shrug and "nothing we can do about that."
We purposely paid a bit extra in Tralee to get somewhere quiet after a four hour drive.
Dinner and breakfast were average.

Tornerei a soggiornare in struttura anche solo per i sorrisi del personale e la loro disponibilità
Pros:

La posizione era ottimale, il personale é stato fantastico, molto accoglienti e comprensivi. La camera era comoda, spaziosa e pulita, tornerei sicuramente

Cons:
