"We absolutely loved Killarney. It is such a cool city. The hotel was nice and clean. Very pretty. The restaurant was amazing. Only drawback was the parking issue. You have to find street parking —however, our hostess was great at giving us tips!"

Beware on check-in we were told we had the breakfast & evening meal package so had a great meal at the restaurant with a great bill we were not expecting. I had no access to email booking on the trip so could not verify the expedia package we bought.
