...OVERVIEW I just did a search on Ciao and noticed that there were no reviews for the Radisson SAS hotel in Co. Limerick in the Republic of Ireland and so I thought I would share my own personal experiences of the hotel in the hope that it will help others that are thinking of staying at the hotel, or at least help give a more informed opinion. When I booked to stay at the Radisson Co. Limerick in September 2007 it was advertised as a 4 star hotel on each of the websites that I looked at. I see that Ciao is now listing it as a 3 star hotel which has prompted me to write this. HOTEL BOOKING As with all international hotels the Radisson SAS chain offers a useful website that details each of the hotels in the chain, provides some pictures and virtual tours of various parts of the buildings. It’s possible to view room amenities... Read review

...UFFORD PARK HOTEL RESTAURANT, Woodbridge, Suffolk. With the present British eating-out preoccupation with excellent food, top-notch cooking, perfect service, and all things gastronomic, it's a strange thing to still be able to find a hotel restaurant that can out-perform even Fawlty Towers. But the Best Western Ufford Park Hotel restaurant excels in its performance, lacking only Clees himself to bring the audience to its feet (with anger, not glee).

And note that this hotel has been operating for more than 10 years, and should by now know how to do things properly. Our party sat down to dinner at 7:30 on Saturday evening. The large dining room was about half full, and there were plenty... Read review

...drove up the road I really had a bad feeling. I'd had a bad experience at the SAS Radisson in Limerick last year, and have felt a bit anxious since then that the hotels I book live up to what is promised, after all the hotel stay is part of my holiday. Anyway, you drive into an area which consists of a series of low rise modern office blocks, it's all very quiet and at the end of a long road a yellow sign indicates the direction of the hotel. There aren't any shops or anything on this business park, and I just couldn't help thinking, it's all TOO business orientated. How wrong I was. There is a free car park around the side of the hotel. I will say at this point that Cork Airport is not overly busy, maybe 10 flights early in the morning and the odd one dotted throughout the day, so this is no Heathrow! The airport is about 10 mins...
