Yep - never stayed there myself but usually comes highly recommended

Thanks Si. I'll mention it to my mate who's organising everything.

For what it's worth, Killarney is a nicer town although it is "Oirsh-Land" for the yanks. But that's not necessarily a bad thing for a short trip as everything you might want - Food, Music, Novelty Mug wearing an Arran Sweater etc...

However, it's probably way more expensive than Tralee which is probably all you need for a short stop.

My brother knows the town better so I've asked him for some food and more importantly Trad Music Pub recommendations for Tralee

Actually I would add that the Ashe doesn’t have much parking so if it’s a car group tour it might not be the right choice.

Sean Ógs is the place to go for Trad music apparently
