I asked if I could store my luggage before check-in, and they let me check in early.
The service was also good, and I had a pleasant stay at the hotel.FromUS$183

The hotel boasts a stylish decor and spacious rooms, plus complimentary parking, which is a huge convenience for self-driving travelers. The staff's service attitude was very warm and welcoming. When we first arrived, the parking lot was full, but the front desk reserved a spot for us, and we parked after dinner. Breakfast was typical Irish hotel fare, with items like fried eggs and sausages needing to be ordered à la carte. The view outside the restaurant is beautiful.FromUS$206

The room is very big
Appreciation of staff’s attitude in handling problems
But in our triple room, we had a bed near the window. I don’t know if it was because of the open window. I opened the quilt and saw many small insects, living or dead. I caught at least eight with my naked eyes. It felt a little hygienic. Not enough
Otherwise there is no problemFromUS$128

The hotel is located in the city center. The restaurant below the same building is great. The food is also very good. We live in a suite but first the window is on the side of the road. The car is very noisy. In addition, the room is CONNECTING ROOM The door is not soundproof. The small sound of the room next to it is passed, and the door is not soundproof!FromUS$207

loud party in garden below along with unruly guests/party members running through halls pounding on doors and then running off (for hours). Called downstairs twice and was basically told it would be over in a few hours and we could be transferred to other side of hotel. Our son was already asleep and it would not have made sense to wake him up and pack up everything.FromUS$115

Ottima posizione per raggiungere tutti i punti importanti della città.
Camera ampia con possibilità di scegliere tra due cuscini. Il bagno è un po’ piccolo e naturalmente, visto che siamo in Irlanda, manca il bidet!!!
Colazione ottima
I ristoranti interni (uno indiano e un gastro pub) sono ottimi

Fantastic hotel with so many amazing touches. I loved the staff, the location, and the decor. The breakfast was the best I have ever had with a hotel package. The service was second to none. When we arrived, they had a vintage radio playing in the room. What a cozy touch! The room was comfortable and fantastic. So happy with our stay.FromUS$191

The Clayton was conveniently located so we could easily walk into the city center. The parking ramp was very near and, of course, the parking was included. The beds were comfortable and we had a room with 2 singles and a double. It was perfect for our needs. We had a beautiful view of the sunrise over the river in the morning. We had dinner in the restaurant the first night. The food was fine and the servers were friendly.FromUS$209

酒店的專屬停車位是在河邊的一個停車場裏
入住之前完全沒有指示，我們開車繞了很久，才發現酒店的門在步行街上。最終是臨時找了一個路邊停車位，拖着箱子走過去的。
這點非常不好。
但是前台特別特別熱情！給我們講了很多！
第二天的早餐也很贊。
房間小而精但是乾淨，安靜，該有的都有。英國這個地方，物價還是太高了。FromUS$185

Castletroy Park Hotel Suite was large and spacious and equipped beyond the regular standard.
We had a problem with the water cooker (calcify storage) and he was still being swapped late evening.
The breakfast is sufficient and delicious.
The city centre of Limerick is accessible by bus and quickly.
How would they stay here again.FromUS$136

Garden-style hotel, quick check-in, polite gentlemen, three-star hotel, the shortcoming is that we were arranged a room on the basement floor, which was not comfortable, and it was not specified when booking the room that it was a basement floor room.FromUS$153
