Hardly no room at the inn or in the campervan for Limerick gigs
FROM A campervan in the city’s suburbs to five-star hotels, there's very little room at the inn this weekend in Limerick.
As of this Tuesday, hotel rooms were in very short supply, with prices ranging from €359 on the Friday night to €409 the following evening.
It comes with visitors flocking to Limerick to see Dermot Kennedy play three nights in Thomond Park, the venue's first gigs since Ed Sheeran sold out the home of Munster Rugby last summer.
A search on hotel reservations web site Booking.com revealed a very limited supply of places to stay with just days to go until the big weekend.
A quick search shows this Friday night, it could be cheaper to stay at the five-star Savoy Hotel in the city centre than the Travelodge in Castletroy.
In the city centre, a room would set you back €359, while if you headed for Castletroy, you'd pay an extra fiver - with that price reduced from €400.
As for Saturday, the cheapest you'd get in Limerick is €409 for a room in the Absolute Hotel at Sir Harry's Mall in the city centre.
While on Sunday, a private room in someone's house in the suburbs was the cheapest option, priced at a comparative bargain of €179 per night.
If you wanted to stay in the same place all weekend, the only option left was three nights in the Kilmurry Lodge, which would set you back €1,265.
One of the cheapest options in the city was the Campervan Experience. Here, B&B accommodation was offered in a converted trailer for between €70 and €90 a night - but is now sold out.
