I had an early meeting in Tralee, and decided to stay over the night before. I was looking for a clean, quiet room, easy parking, and a bar (I know, I know). 
I got that and more!

Yes, this caters to tour buses - so that means they unexpectedly had music on a Monday night! What fun as it was a night of country music, and the German tourists were dancing up a storm! A good time was had by all. 

The lobby lounge area had the wildest lighting & really neat colored sofas - my home now looks boring, let me tell you! A nice spot to sit & sip a drink and people watch. 

The room (1st floor) was spacious, very quiet, and spotless. There were USB Outlets & electric outlets to spare. The lights operated from bedside switches.  Soap in bathroom (no shampoo) but wasn’t expecting it (many places in Ireland don’t offer those amenities now that “plastic free” is a real goal, here). 

Breakfast was buffet (tour buses, remember) with plenty of options. Parking lot was easy to maneuver (Tralee hotels in town often don’t have easy parking options). 

I would definitely stay again. The staff (front desk at night; restaurant staff in the morning) were happy and engaging. AND I would call the hotel directly- it was nighttime when I phoned and I got a better rate than B O O K I N G. 

Not overly fancy - but exactly what I needed. 

Enjoy! 



Excellent value, clean & spacious 

WOW , what a fantastic hotel. we visited for 4 nights on a coach trip . I cannot praise the staff enough who run this hotel . 
From the reception desk to the restuarant and bar staff , they are all doing a wonderful job.   The choice of food was very good and the service was exceptional.  The food was always piping hot and a great choice for hot and cold breakfast . 
Our room was nice and clean .
I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION ON A RETURN TO THIS HOTEL.
Well done to all concerned .

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

One of the best hotels ever on a coach holiday!  Modern hotel in a country setting, about 6 km. to Tralee. A pleasant walking track around the hotel by the river. Spacious rooms, lifts to upper floors. Professional staff having to cater for a constant stream of coach parties. Excellent food & menu choice. Would recommend & would stay again.

Wonderful stay

Just returned from the Killarney & Ring of Kerry with Caledonian Travel.This hotel is one of the best we have stayed in.All staff were lovely & cope very well with coach parties.Food was excellent and always piping hot.Bedrooms a bit dated but very clean.Would certainly return in the future.Coach driver Danny was excellent.

Second visit

We were on a coach tour. Lovely hotel. All staff friendly and helpful. Plenty of space in lounges. Entertainment very good. Rooms are large and spacious. Fried breakfast buffet or cereal, fruit, yogurt with plenty of choice. Evening meal had three choices of starters, main and dessert. Tea and coffee. Food was very good and the service is excellent. The staff work extremely hard to serve a lot of tables and this is done with the utmost efficiency and food was always fresh and hot. A big thank you to all the staff that make this hotel so comfortable for all their guests.

Excellent hotel.

The lobby decor was so vibrant and inviting.  Older hotel that was newly renovated.  Large rooms, very clean and a wonderful park like setting.  Breakfast was included and nicely done.  Gorgeous bouquet of fresh lilies were in the lobby.

Wonderful setting

Positives, lovely large clean comfortable hotel, excellent piping hot food, well presented and served efficiently by plenty of staff, beautifully kept gardens a treasure to explore.
Negatives, rude manager needs some customer care training! No good  entertainment, very repetitive and lacking, although has a great size Caberet room not put to full potential use! Hotel is isolated from town, need a taxi both ways, no buses., taxi cost 15 euro each way so makes it an expensive night out in the town, when the hotel could easily source some traditional Irish entertainment as the town was full of great groups and singers, but the manager totally lacking in interests of his guest requests, very disappointing attitude, will not stay here again solely for this reason

Lovely hotel but too isolated

I was traveling on business and the hotel was booked at the last min, I have to say from the receptionist to the floor staff you provide a warm welcome plus a reason to return something that is missing in some establishments. Good value and would return, well done staff and management.

Pleasant stay 

This is a very pretty and well maintained hotel. The food is very good. 

Unfortunately the rooms are incredibly noisy. Two nights in a row we were woken every few minutes with slamming doors. Not just once or twice, but in to the hundreds. It didn’t help that they had a wedding where the guests thought it acceptable to use the corridors as a 1) race track 2) vomit bowl 3) pop idol audition stage. The drunk guy smashing down the corridor and vomiting at 03:00 was a great touch. 

It seems no attempt was made to put our guests away from the wedding party guests. No thought about rooms at all. The manager just dismissed me with ‘it’s the other guests’. Totally unconcerned for anyone not in the wedding party. 

Don’t stay here if you want a relaxing and peaceful sleep. 

Good Luck Trying To Sleep 

The receptionist who I made the booking was rude and unhelpful.when we got back to the hotel Room around 11pm the room was cold and when we rang reception to ask about how to turn the heat on we were informed that the heat was on a timer and would not be back on until 4 am personally this is not good enough it’s not like it was a exactly a cheap stay
