Really not great from beginning to end, car park had dozens of deep potholes making parking a test in itself. Food was average but hearing the chef asking the waiter what should she put with meal was very disconcerting. Overall a poor experience.

Had to spend a couple of days in Limerick and by luck found Patrick Punch's Hotel in Limerick. It's about 15/20 minutes walk from downtown Limerick and there's free secure parking and broadband which came as a pleasant surprise after some of the expensive "add ons" I've had to pay out for. Decent sized rooms, good restaurant and a cracking breakfast allied to friendly staff mean I'll be back. It has a good old style bar and around the corner is Fennessys, another good old style bar.

Myself and some family members stayed in this hotel on a Saturday night, on returnung to the hotel after a night out we stood in the freezing cold for 15-20 mins waiting to get in. The key card service on the outside of the buliding did not work. When the porter/receptionist eventually arrived he did not apologise to us for having to wait outside, instead when we made a comment to eachother about how it was not acceptable for us having to wait outside he replied quite ignorantly to us that he had to do security checks in the hotel which we understood but his whole attitude sucked!! He started to raise his voice asking did we have jobs & basically we felt that we were bothering him by him having to let us in. At the end of the day we were paying guests in the hotel. On check-out the next morning we mentioned this to the lovely girl on reception who told us that he had already informed her of what happened the previous night (covering his own back more like). She informed us that they do have to do security checks but he should of had a bleeper on him to notify him when the door buzzer rings and he should of been with us in less than 10 mins. We have stayed in this hotel many times & always found it fibe but due to the way we were treated we will definately not be returning again. Plus our room was freezing cold & had dead spiders in the windows & on the floors where it obviously hadn't been cleaned or used in a while. Overall not a bad hotel but the management would seriously need to take a look at their staff and their attitudes!!!

The hotel is located centrally. It has a secure parking area with two levels of underground parking. . It has also free internet access in rooms . The rooms are quite nice and the food is good. Overall a good hotel for a reasonable price.
