Having stayed at the Clarion and other hotels in Limerick over the past years, both my wife and I agree that our stay at the Absolute was the best experience we have encountered. Private parking, ease of checking in/out,friendliness and professionalism of staff at all levels was exemplary(Niall & Aidan to mention only the ones we can remember). And to make the stay even better, a Saturday evening at Thomond Park watching Munster win. Priceless.
