Overall a nice place but I would look at other places, lots to choose from in the area for the same price. Had to park at there sister hotel and got rained on while checking in. Difficult to get bags into the hotel. Location was very good and staff was friendly. Biggest problem was we had NO HOT WATER the day we were leaving. They said the boiler needed to be reset? We didn’t leave until 11:00 so why didn’t they have that figured out before then. Didn’t offer any kind of concession for the inconvenience which I felt was inappropriate.

The Ross is a small hotel right in town. The rooms are a little dated, but well maintained. Room 205 overlooks a cemetery, which may be an issue for some. The included breakfast is sit down with some delicious hot options (I.e. omelets, Irish Breakfast, etc). The bar around the corner, Paddy Sheehan’s had awesome live musical performances. There’s also a large/nicer gift shop nearby, Christy’s. The hotel itself has a bar downstairs, Polly’s. They had a decent selection of top shelf alcohol, but limited food options.

Great boutique hotel. Highly recommend it. Be advised, however, that it’s a long walk from the hotel to the entrance of Killarney National Park. We wished we had rented a bike in town earlier in the day and ridden to the park.
