I suppose the risk of arriving after 7pm to check in for one night is that you take whatever room they offer. I was staying for the first time on business at the Kilkarney Oaks Hotel. From the outside it seems like a nice hotel and as soon as you enter the spacious and luxurious foyer you get the feeling that this is no ordinary 4 star hotel. The decor is beautiful, between the freshness of grey tones and the crystal chandeliers, no expense has been spared. Check in was fast and pleasant and I was assigned my room. However, the room was a slight let down. The size was no bigger than I would expect from any Itish hotel room. But I wasn't expecting it to be crammed full of beds! I was staying as an individual, but had the choice of a small double bed or either of two single beds. I thought it was like Goldilocks choice, but I refrained from seeing if one was too hard, one too soft and one just right! If this was considered a family room them it was for a tiny family who liked living on top of each other. I had to rearrange furniture just to get to the window to close the curtains. As a businessman I tend to get to my room and stay in it until bedtime. But this room was very unwelcoming. Don't get me wrong, it was spotlessly clean, fresh and felt like it had just been totally redecorated. It just wasn't a nice place to be because of the number of beds along with a table and 2 chairs. I'm glad I only stayed 1 night. I might give it another go the next time I'm in Killarney but I'll be more circumspect about defining what is acceptable as a place of comfort.
