The absense of parking or a drop off area really is an issue at this hotel as others say. Parking on a weekend is extremely difficult. Lack of porter service to assist with luggage make this really a 3 star hotel. Carrying luggage in rain across town is a drawback.

Not a bad experience. Staff was great, hotel lobby and room were clean. There is shopping, coffee, and food right next door. Property is close to several other restaurants and attractions in the area that you can walk to. The only problem is that everything is very old. I felt like I was staying at the hotel in the movie the shining. Rooms and bathrooms are straight from the 1970’s. Like I said, not a bad experience but everything does need to be renovated.

Wonderful establishment! Well located, but Killarney is an extremely walkable city. Jaunting cars right outside your door and great food served in both their pub/dining room and breakfast lounge. Spotless, comfortable, nice sized room (we stayed in a twin). We recommend!
