The George Limerick Hotel

The George Limerick Hotel

8/10 Good
"Fine enough hotel for exploring Limerick and nearby. Fairly modern, about a block from the river and quite a few from the bus/train. Watch for a banner hanging down from the building with THE GEORGE, then a street sign for their Vincenzo restaurant at a glass and brass entrance. Remember to use your room key to operate the elevator. Bonus: hang the DO NOT DISTURB sign so they don't clean and every day you will get a 5 euro card for Vincenzo's (but each expires after 2 days)."

We had to wait up until the very min of our check in time and that’s rough after flying over all night long. We tried to check in at 1pm instead of 3p and had to wait.
