Advantages: Very good Hotel, great service Disadvantages: In the wrong place.
Just back from a weekend Jaunt to Ireland. We flew Ryanair Eastmidlands to Shannon, £38 return (No hold luggage and online checkin).
We booked the Oakwood Arms at Shannon, this was mainly as our return flight was 09:30 Monday morning and we did not want to get up early to travel.
We booked it thru LATEROOMS.COM for 85 Euros a night for Double room with Buffet Breakfast.
Ireland seems to be pricey for Hotels, so this was not too bad (We do cheaper when we go Venice).
We had hired a Car so after picking that up it was just a 10 min Drive into Shannon and the Hotel.
First Impressions were very good, better than most of the reviews we had read.
Its a low level building on the edge of Shannon, not that there's much in the middle of Shannon, just seems to be a Housing Estate.
Checkin looks very smart and professional ...
Advantages: Easy to navigate Disadvantages: Nothing
Shannon Airport is as the review says, much of a much ness as any other airport, been to one you have been to most.
The thing that stuck out in my mind was as we landed at the airport and walked towards the arrivals there seemed to be a room, conservatory, glass building full of people in uniform. As my mind was on other things at that particular moment in time I just dismissed it as security on the airport.
On our return journey we arrived in good time and went through to departures and just talking about this and that when to my amazement a lot of military staff came thought towards us, and they just kept on arriving.
You could see by their dress that they where on their way from the States to somewhere hot, and dusty?????the faces of the younger people said it all. As I looked at them only one person caught my eye and spoke ...
Advantages: A PLEASANT WELCOME Disadvantages: None
on the Check in Desk.
Tip for the ladies with ONLINE Checkin and Cabin Bag only, your handbag has to be inside your case, it counts towards the weight and number of bags.
Security is now the same everwhere, so best get it out of the way, what does amaze me, at East Midlands (and all others) TWEEZERS are listed as a NO NO item, you ladies will sympathise with my wife when told this. So we left them at home, there they were on the NO NO poster. Then you go thru, Straight into BOOTS and you have guessed it , you can buy a pair before getting onto the plane.
Its about time we got back to common sense, do you think any PILOT would FLY THIS PLANE TO CUBA, on the threat of haveing his eyebrows Plucked.
Anyway back to Shannon, when thru Security there is a large bright duty free shop. A few small shops and a very good Bar that also does Food ...
