The Ross was amazing from start to finish! It was stylishly decorated and conveniently located downtown near the best restaurants and pubs. The breakfast was amazing and they even prepared us a to-go breakfast with scones and fruit since we had to be off early. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Killarney.
