We also spent one more night there on Saturday, the 21st. before our flight home on June 22, 2025. Inside the hotel is the Blair Bar (the bar opens at 1230). We had lunch and dinner in the bar and of course, had a couple of Guinness and Smithwicks (which locals pronounce Smittics). The service was great and the food selection was good and the food was good. Great bar/restaurant inside the hotel, which by the way is a short walking distance from the Shannon airport.
