Scene
Contemporary countryside hotel with indoor pool and full-service spa
Situated on 23 landscaped acres next to
farmland and greenery, the Radisson Blu is not overly exciting or luxurious but does offer a pleasing and bright contemporary atmosphere. Renovated in
2015, the hotel is in excellent condition. The low-rise building has
an open-plan feel in its public spaces, allowing for natural light and conveying
relaxation. Guests will enter a lobby with a muted color scheme of beige,
brown, olive green, and aqua blue. Another special feature is the courtyard,
with tables, chairs, and attractive landscaping. An efficient, well-run property, the
Radisson Blu has a friendly staff and attracts families with its outdoor playground and the pool's special children's hours. Business travelers
appreciate the meeting rooms while tourists like the wealth of recreational facilities, affordable rates, convenience to the M7, and serene location not
too far from Limerick. The hotel also draws locals to its popular bars and
wedding venue.
