On the surface it’s actually a decent hotel, but that’s just on the surface. If you take a look at the outside, or even the inside, you think it is going to be a great experience, but unfortunately they skimp on everything.
There is only one option for soap in the room, a generic “does it all” liquid that is bolted to the wall in the shower and somewhere near the sink. It is to be used for all you cleaning needs, from hair to hiney. No hand soap, no shampoo, and no conditioner… just the industrial strength generic liquid. Add to that the lack of wash cloths, pool quality towels, and lumpy pillows, and you see what I mean.
Breakfast is the next disappointment. Of all of the hotels we stayed in this trip in Scotland and Ireland (10 hotels), this was the worse breakfast offering we had. Powdered, reconstituted eggs was the centerpiece, with generic fixing to surround them.
The bottom line is that the Clayton in Limerick is a nice looking hotel on the surface, but you should not expect any comforts beyond the surface.
