Avenue Hotel in Killarney

Elegant hotel. Fancy. Best customer service thus far in Ireland! (Front desk and breakfast staff excellent!) Tons of shops, restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance. Killarney is a very cute city. It has an "energy" vibe to it. Minus 1 star for lack of available USB ports. In addition, the shower had poor temperature control. No cold water, believe it or not. The bath had cold water, yet when you switched the control to the shower mode, only three temperatures available: hot, hotter, and scolding, no matter how you adjusted the knob(s). {Only in room 119?...} Also, no hooks or towel bar to hang towels, etc. in the bathroom. The WiFi was ok to stream, however, trying to send an image via text failed time and again. Besides that, I highly recommend this hotel. A Celtic and Riverdance show most nights at 8:30 pm on the ground level. $37€ ? Free parking under the hotel, however, very limited spaces on a first-come, first-served basis. P.S. My opinion only: The Ring of Kerry was underwhelming. I guess I'm spoiled living in California with the coastal highway, the Sierra Nevada mountains, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. However, since you're here, you might as well drive it. Still lovely. I suggest driving it Clockwise. The tour busses drive Counterclockwise, and you do not want to follow them and all their customers at every viewpoint. For every one car traveling clockwise, there were 30 to 40 cars traveling counterclockwise. Now you know!
