I have family in Limerick and have stayed at the Strand a few times. I was here this time to to attend a family birthday party that was being held in the hotel. It is a lovely hotel with wonderful staff. I took the one star off because we were given a VIP, 14 Euro voucher through *******, that was supposedly for any food and NON ALCOHOLIC beverages, however we could not put this towards a sandwich, pizza or soft drinks in the lounge because the manager had written specifically that it had to be put towards a sit down full dinner. Anyway maybe petty on my part but leaves one with a bad feeling. So ignore the VIP incentive because it is not that useful. The manager should reconsider this as it does not reflect genuine hospitality. Overwise this is a grand hotel!
