After searching the web for a quick weekend break away from Dublin last week, I came across DG Hotels website. Not being pushed where we went as long as it was as far away from Dublin that I couldn't go back quickly, I was amazed to see the prices they were offering for a room rate. I thought there was some mistake as the website screamed at me €19 per room per night!!!!! Now it is a limited offer and not all nights are available, but I managed to get the Friday and Saturday night in Limerick. On arrival, I was somewhat surprised to be greeted by a fairly big modern hotel, which was nothing like I had pictured. The room was exactly what I had expected- Bed, television and ensuite but it was in excellent condition. There was a small pub beside it with a restaurant and we ate and drank there both days. Excellent value and very tasty. (By the way I don't work for them!) We had a slight problem with the hot water in the morning but we were immediately given the use of a different room to shower in, and were moved to a different room that day. When I told people about it, they wouldn't believe me!! But it is true, and I have already decided to try another DG hotel as soon as I can while the offer is still running!
Granted, the offer is limited at the weekends and I don't know what the normal rate is but if it's quiet and peace you want for a few days then give it a go.
I don't know how the public transport is to get to the hotel, but I was driving so it was only 10 minutes from Limerick city centre.
Well done to all concerned and thank you for a wonderful, relaxing break away from the big city!!
