10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. You are right in the center of town and also walking distance to Killarney National Park. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking in the lot out back is convenient. I would opt for the public lot over their underground lot as it is very small and difficult to navigate (unless you have a tiny car or motorbike). We will stay here again!"
