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

Limerick City Hotel
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).

Dunraven Arms Hotel
We enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were super clean and spacious. The reception area was a bit run down. I would stay here again.
