Foleys Hotel was a busy pub and restaurant, with accommodation on first and second floors. A few flights of stairs to both floors. Popular place for dinner and live music. Food was good and breakfast also good. Music can be heard from your room until late, so keep windows closed. Street parking easy. Nice staff.

The hotel is in the heart of the action of Kenmare. Our room was on the third floor so we definitely got our exercise going up and down the stairs. The stairs are steep so if you have mobility issues make sure you get a room on the second floor (but you will still need to do about 20 steps). We needed to keep the windows open due the warm temperatures, there is lots of road and bar noise but it normally didn’t bother us. If the windows would have been closed we would have heard less. Staff was very polite and friendly. Breakfast was good!
