Breakfast could be hot or self-serve style with a selection of breads, cereals, yogurts, fruit. It's tricky to get directions. Our rent-car Garmin didn't find it, but Google Maps did.

There were three of us, and we were happy to get room to accomodate everyone comfortably at a very reasonable price. The hotel is centrally located in Tralee and there are a variety of restaurants and pubs in the area. They don't have parking there, but it was not difficult to find street parking. In the small hotel style, there is not full time staff. They will make arrangements for after hours key pickups if necessary. There is a breakfast option but we did not try it out on this trip.

During our 2 week vacation in Ireland, the Gleneagle Hotel was the only "miss" in the places we…read morestayed. Gayle and I are pushing 70 and we felt really old here. It felt like a combination of a convention center and an assisted living home. Fern figured out that there were a lot of daily buses coming in full of local seniors in town for some rest and relaxation, and this was the place to be. That also explained the adjacent convention center, including small and large entertainment venues. And it was odd to hear "Take me Home Country Roads" emanating from the bar both evenings we were here. I didn't know that John Denver was Irish? Other "Opportunities for Improvement": 1. The buffet breakfasts were largely inedible, including undercooked sausages, weak coffee, OK eggs, and stale bread. 2. The Gleneagle is a couple miles out from central Killarney, requiring a cab ride both ways. We might as well have been out in Iowa somewhere considering this suburban locale. There were of course positives: 1. Our room was spacious and comfortable. 2. Gleneagle staff were all very nice, engaging and helpful. And maybe some missed opportunities, like taking advantage of some of the music performance opportunities? There have been some impressive acts that have come through the Gleneagle.

Modest comfortable accommodations, just 5 ensuites w private bathrooms. Limited amenities but we found that we needed nothing. The Irish do love their food HOT & I do too! The breakfast in the sunny conservatory dining area is a wonderful treat. The porridge w Baileys Irish cream is creamy,dreamy mmmm delish! As is the salmon & scrambled eggs- tomatoes & beans w breakfast takes a little getting used too but the fresh pork products like rasher & bangers makes up for it! Gracious hostess/ proprietors. A very pleasant stay.

From 9:30-11 they have traditional irish music and then from 11;30-2 they have irish rock. This is really just "pop/american radio music" with a twist. It is good and worth a visit. Drinks are cheap and talking to the locals and having a blast seems almost guaranteed. I'm not sure what the "pony" reviewer did but this place couldn't be more friendly.

My mom used to work in Tralee in the 70s and would eat at the Grand every single day. No matter how busy it is, which it usually is, your food comes out pipin' hot and quick every time. The decor in the dining room is fancy, however not too fancy. The pub area is my favorite place to be seated. They have a beautiful pub style ambiance. The food is AWESOME! I usually get the one of the specials for the day. I lean towards the beef or lamb. I've also had chicken Maryland which is also very good. Each entree comes with a side of vegetables and potatoes. For desert you MUST get the baked alaska!
