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
Shannon Airport, located on the West Coast of Ireland.
We flew into Shannon last Friday on the Ryanair flight from East Midlands, flight time 1 hour.
There was a lot of cloud on the day we arrived, and for that fact until we left on the Monday.
As we decended below the clouds we could see the Shannon River, which is very large, perhaps all that rain.
All the planes seem to park within Walking distance of the terminal, so no need for that Bus Crush ride, very pleasant, also the walk way for most of the way was covered.
Passport control, just a little glance at the offered Passport, but a Big Smile and a "Come on in to Ireland", oh if it could always be like that whereever you go.
A short walk brings you to Baggage Reclaim, this I can not comment on as we had only Cabin Luggage, for speed and to save on costs. It ...

Album Reviews
CMJ (5/8/00, p.29) - "...Chillingly raw-nerved and hauntingly poetic....Elliptical, picked acoustic guitar, elegiac piano and organ, thudding snare...lending a baroque elegance to MAPS' tattered waltzes and cryptic Southern ballads..."
