"O'Donnabhain's Pub Hotel, very clean and well-kept, the feeling of sleeping in a pub is charming. Super friendly staff: even though we arrived at 9 PM (after check-in hours), they let us eat even though it was closing time."

"Really enjoyed a lovely break and staff and hotel were excellent"

"Hmmmm...I'm confused as I am reading the glowing reviews for this place and I think to myself, "Is this the same B&B I stayed at??" Our room was furnished like an army barracks. There was no bottled water in the room. No coffee or tea to make in the room and no kettle for hot water. All of the other B&B's we stayed at in Ireland had these features as well as a refrigerator in the common area for guest use. If I wanted coffee before breakfast I had to walk to the Circle K about 7 minutes away. The town of Kenmare is quite lovely, but is a solid 18-20 minute walk from the B&B and we found cab or Uber service unavailable--we tried repeatedly. The B&B is located on the main highway going into Kenmare and our room was on the front side of the building and was VERY noisy from street traffic. The windows had to stay open if you wanted the room to be cool at night. The breakfast was quite good and the dining room was cheery and bright--the only thing cheery and bright about this place. The sitting room was dark, dingy and uninviting. Our hostess was cordial but cool and aloof. I asked for 2 extra pillows for my room and that request was ignored. It was as if there was some bad energy in the place that you couldn't quite put your finger on. I have instructed the group that put together our hike and bike tour to avoid booking their clients there if at all possible."

"Kenmare was our base for our visit to the Ring of Kerry and the Park Hotel was a wonderful hotel to experience this lovely area of Ireland. There are many areas of the hotel to enjoy especialy the gardens and walk along Kenmare Bay. We loved using the pool and sauna every night to relax with everything a person could need such as slippers, robes, swimsuit drying etc. Be sure to take the Art Tour to learn about the owner's extensive collection and the Forest Tour to learn about the lovely setting. We had a wonderful large room with sitting area that had one of the best views of the bay. The bathroom had been recently renovated which was very large with a nice soaking tub and separate shower. In-room snacks and drinks showed the hotel really wanted to make a guest's stay as pleasant as possible. We found the food at the hotel to be excellent. Upon our arrival we had a light lunch in the lounge area which I really recommend. Breakfast each morning was delicious with an extensive menu. After a long day of touring, we decided to order room service which was excellent and reasonably priced. I also recommend the nearby restaurant The Lime Tree Inn for an excellent dinner. It is walking distance through a short-cut in the parking lot. We found the service to be excellent and I wished I remembered everyone's name to thank them in this review (such as Jude and the red-hair gentleman at the bar). You could tell they took a lot of pride in their job and wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. One tip to pass along is if you have a Chase Reserve credit card to book using the Chase Edit program. It gave us a $250 discount, room upgrade including late check-out, breakfast and a $100 hotel credit (which we used for room service)."
