Foynes accommodation from NZ$205

The first time I stayed in this building was in 1985. Then and now the best aspect of staying in the hotel adjacent to the Shannon Airport is the convenience. I returned my rental car the night I stayed (before I flew out in the morning). The car rental company gave me a lift back to the hotel. In the morning, I just had to roll my suitcase out the door, across the parking lot and to departures. The hotel room was spacious, clean, and had room for all my bits and bobs in the bathroom. Considering it was at an airport, it was quiet. The bed was comfortable. The room was very clean. I searched a bit for plugs for my electronic devices, but managed to plug everything in. The bar had a welcoming atmosphere for dining, and as a solo woman traveler I was able to pick my seating location and was treated in a friendly and professional manner. The cost was much higher than 1985, of course, and probably double what I would've usually paid for a bed and breakfast close by. Considering my car rental had to be returned at 6am, I weighed the cost vs. the advantages, and chose to make the splurge. I still feel it was worth the cost.

Amazing stay, staff were exceptionally friendly. We enjoyed our stay as a family of 4, everything was as advertised. The food was delicious and play areas for kids were fantastic.
