Clayton Hotel Limerick
Good hotel just on the outskirts of downtown. Decent walk to almost everything. Breakfast was overcooked most days. No ice machines is a pain. Had to go to the bar and get it by the glass. Lots of room in the room and the bathroom had lots of pressure

Park Inn by Radisson Shannon Airport
Our room was basic, and we had to lug suitcases up stairs, but the location was fantastic for the airport! The hotel restaurant had some nice options too.

Dunraven Arms Hotel
The ONLY drawback to this hotel is the traffic… there is currently only one main road through the beautiful village of Adare and it is constantly gridlocked. The hotel sits right on the main road and if you have a room at the front you will hear traffic. We were told that they are building a bypass ...
