We actually stayed here in 2019, but for some strange reason our review we posted back then has disappeared? 
We booked 2 family rooms, one room for my self , my wife and my son and the other for my Father and brother . 

We arrived in the early afternoon before my farther and brother and was greeted in reception by a smelly dog sleeping behind the reception desk! The owner came out of another room and then greeted us. 

We were shown to one of the rooms by the owner  and as we walked past other rooms we are told that if we didn’t not like the room we had been given there were others available?  We walked into the room and noticed how dirty and dated  it was . 

The room looked as if it had not been decorated since the late 1980s! 
The bathroom was filthy  and the wall pugs sockets  and fixtures were wobbly and some were hanging  off the walls. We asked to see another room and it was as if we had walked back into the same room again. 

With that we didn’t bother unpacking 
and we headed back out to reception where we noticed the restaurant room was just as dirty and disjointed as the rooms were , with a table full of dusty plush toys all stacked on top of each other ? 

The owner was still in the reception area and I said we would not be staying , as the rooms were not suitable . The owner said abruptly he could not give a refund! We said we would take it up with the booking agent. We phoned my father and brother saying we would meet them in Listowel town and we would book somewhere there!  We booked into the main hotel in Listowel town and
It was lovely. 

My advice would be, if you are thinking about booking into this hotel , please don’t and keep on driving !

Nightmare of a hotel

A large group of us stayed here for a nearby wedding, the manager could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The rooms were clean and fresh. Full Irish the next morning was A1 and plentiful. Highly recommend and plan on visiting again.

Excellent Service

We (my father and I originally from Amsterdam) stopped at the Lanterns inn for the night on the way to Tralee. The hotel manager and the other sir of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The in-house restaurant offers fantastic curries. We had two varieties - prawn and curry - and both were excellent. The lemon cheesecake was also a great way to top it off. Very worth a stay.

Phenomenal Curry, top-notch service

I will start off and say the Owners/staff were very obliging and friendly. But on entering we were greeted with the smell of sewers,(alarm bell ringing) but pipes block!  it could of just been we arrived at a bad time. Later we were to realize this was just covering the overwhelming smell of damp through out the Hotel. We were told this was because of the hotel been closed during covid. (Open a window & stick on the heat for a week).We checked in regardless (sucker for punishment ) . My first room felt like the wood floor was layed over a carpet never seen a wooden floor sink under foot and there was a mist on the mirror the room was that damp. I was moved to another room with a slightly less damp smell but the decor is old and tired cramped in furniture, paint flaking off the walls.an electric fan heater was supplied. I feel the central heating hasn't been switched on in years. There was soap left at the bottom of the shower from the last guest Now we were told that the prices had rose because the rooms need to be cleaned to a higher standard with the Covid Pandemic .So hopefully the Gentleman who previously showered hadn't covid. (no woman is that Hairy). And also thankfully deceased flies don't transmit covid as there was a collection on the window sills. Also the net curtains were a nice reminder of my childhood in the 80's.  For breakfast the sugar bowls had not been emptied or washed out in a length of time only an Archaeologist could take a stab at. But they matched the brown tea stained tea spoons beautifully. Four of the six in my group didn't eat the breakfast two (would eat anything put in front of them). I feel there is no money been spent on the place, take as much money out of it as they can before they Get Closed Down. Anyway lesson learned. read reviews. And for sites like these they should be made  time stamp the pictures of the place....

I'm sure it was a fantastic Hotel in its day ,But that day is well and Truly gone.

Enjoyed our recent one-night stopover in the Lanterns. Owners, polite, and helpful. Lovely breakfast. Excellent location on the (N69) coast road of the beautiful River Shannon. Will stay again.
