1014505 Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

It's extremely hard to get to this hotel without driving, or using their shuttle bus from the airport - its fairly isolated and there's poor footpaths. I got a taxi in from Priorswood, and a taxi back out; so bear that in mind if intending to come out here.

The bar here is substantial, easily the biggest in a main brand (Clayton/Maldron) Dalata hotel I've been to; but that is because the hotel itself is pretty big, and with a constantly transient customer base. There's even a dedicated "delayed flights" checkin desk, handling those who have been boarded here by their airline during disruptions. It may also be a legacy of this having been one of the Bewleys Hotels which made up an early bulk purchase for Dalata, 

The bar itself has a fairly good range of drinks on offer, and the staff I dealt with were friendly and chatty - but there's an oddity with the layout, where the seats that are in front of the bar are actually for diners only. It's bar seating or lobby seating for the drinkers, something some people may not like. The lobby in particularly was quite loud with the volume of people checking in when I arrived; and I expect it's like that until late.
