The Pier Hotel

My daughter and her college friends stayed during summer 2021 and they found everything to be clean, spacious and in good working order and had a great time. So for Mothers Day she booked for the two of us, using her own money, and when I read the reviews I was dreading i to be honest. However, we arrived and got a space in the car park, went up to reception and a nice man gave us the cards for room 216 and we headed up wondering what we would find. 😀 I have to say, we were both pleasantly surprised to find a very clean, yet compact, double room, large bathroom, radiator was on, all lights and sockets worked, it was grand for the one night. The window is a bit dodgy and took a bit of twisting to close it but look, the room was cheap. We met lovely housekeepers who held lifts for us and the reception staff could not have been more friendly. The lift and staircases were spotlessly clean. No smell of smoke or the sound of kitchen fans keeping us awake. I would just say that the hand sanitiser stations could do with refilling, but I suppose it's not compulsory for hotels to have them any more.. We ate up the road at Hamptons, drank in the Savoy and had brunch at House. Both within easy walking distance, literally 2 minutes away. I liked it for what it was, and more importantly, had a lovely Mother's Day with my daughter.

We were due to stay at this hotel in a few weeks time & had booked a room prior to the Ed Sheeran show dates being announced, meaning that we had paid the lower rate. We were informed that our reservation had been cancelled with no given explanation. We can only assume that the accommodation has noticed the nightly rate we were paying and seen they can exploit the number of guests looking to stay in Limerick & therefore cancelled us in order to make more money off of another guest.
