Our breakfast was delivered to our room on time and piping hot,considering you were at full capacity. which sad to same have rarely experienced in other hotels.It's proximity to the town of Kenmare. It is a three star hotel and does exactly what it says on the tin. Staff were friendly and helpful and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere.i liked my room. it was very nice indeed. location facilitis. Location, new modern hotel. Excellent facility. Convenience. Peaceful location and plentiful car parking. The hotel was lovely!. the pool. We do not want to make a complaint but wish to bring the following to your attention for future reference.Good Buffet Breakfast, leisure centre. parking could be better and no room to double park when unloading luggage.the swimming pool was cold. Dinner was not great.Not applicable. the bar food, while fairly priced, wasn't the best. i would highly recommend the hotel for staying in, but not for eating in. I did think the main bar could have been larger as once approx 20 guests were present it was full which was a pity as we had to go elsewhere. Bar a bit small. Dinner menu limited would need more variety. The older part of the hotel was a bit of a shock. They should just totally refurbish it instead of giving it a lick of paint (the smell of which was really overpowering). Thankfully we weren't staying in that part. The room at times was cold and the television was not very clear on all channels.No water in the rooms. Every thing was great except when we got to use the pool it was full of children as there were swimming lessons going on at that time but we just chose the wrong time to go there I think. Apart from that nothing to complain about. New years banquet was excellent apart from being served slow and too late. However food was excellent. the bar food was very over priced and the portions were very small and we were waiting far to long for the food to come. the bar area not manned properly ( new staff on board ) and very small bar area for the size of the hotel. Check out is 10am which was a bit too early in my opinion. We also were charged a €10 utility charge which I think should have been covered in the cost of the room already.The only complaint I would have is the fry at breakfast was overcooked. location a bit out of town and no shuttle service. Too many large groups which overwhelmed the bar and restaurant. Bathroom could have been cleaner. 2 euro per swim cap is excessive... We had a problem with lights in the room as did some of our friends who were also staying there. Apart from that no other problems.The fire alarm was set off at 3am and again at 4 am. Reception staff were almost unpleasant and rude. Oh, and there was no hot water in the shower.Bar was packed with vintage car rally so I retreated to the restaurant.Meal was very average for 50 Euros. The food was not nice-not value for money! We were not happy with the dinner, so we handed it back.i was placed in the old wing of the hotel, people who paid the same price as me had much nicer rooms in the new wing of the hotel. Hotel was very very busy with a motor bike rally, we found it difficult to have a drink or rather have somewhere to sit rather than our bedroom while having the drink and we therefore had to leave the hotel and go to another promises. The dining room was 'hectic' in the morning even though we did ask at reception for a 'time' when the rush would finish.Room was not as impressive as photos on web site - bathroom was old and in need of updating / redecorating - no shower lotions (empty), no shampoos, conditioners etc. Felt the room was over-priced and did not reflect the standard of the room. The room was not at all like the photographs on the website, our room was old fashioned and uncomfortable, not at all like the photographs. We stayed for just one night although we had booked for three.
