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

The hotel has a outstanding restaurant with delicious food, very helpful staff and a big carpark (big enough for my transit van) at low cost (€25 for a week).
