The Grand Hotel is a excellent place to stay. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food in particular was superb and reasonably priced, even the drinks were reasonable in price compared to previous hotels we have stayed at. It is very central and there is a car park nearby. We would definitely recommend the Grand Hotel Tralee and would go back again ourselves.
