My recent stay at the Park Hotel Kenmare had its ups and downs. While the location is just delightful, making it easy to explore the charming town, I found the room to be a bit lackluster compared to what I anticipated. The service was generally pleasant, but there were moments where the attention felt lacking. Dining was quite enjoyable, but I've had better experiences elsewhere. Overall, it's a beautiful property in a lovely setting, though it's not without its quirks.

My stay at The Park Hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff provided exceptional hospitality and genuinely made me feel welcome, I did feel the room was overpriced for what it offered. The dining experience was remarkable, especially the breakfast, which was delicious. However, one bar staff member's dismissive attitude marred an otherwise enjoyable atmosphere.

Our stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The staff exuded warmth and made us feel right at home, and the breakfast was a wonderful start to each day. The spa was a luxurious treat, and we really enjoyed wandering around the beautiful grounds. However, the lack of strong Wi-Fi in our room was a bit of an inconvenience, and the sofa in our spacious room could use some updating.
