1013947 Castleknock Hotel

A second slightly awkward to get to hotel writeup in a row - but at least this time, it was all flat. Now that I'm approaching 50 remaining premises to do, they all get harder to visit in some way or another - and this ones delay was due to access.

This is the sort-of flagship of FBD Hotels, the leisure investment arm of the only remaining Irish car/home insurer; a mix of businesses I've always found quite odd - but then again, Sean Quinn did both insurance and hotels too. FBD however have not needed a massive bailout!

It's a big hotel, with multiple dining options; and was very busy when I arrived - but there was bar seating available. There was nothing particularly memorable about the bar, or anything else, until I was leaving - when I saw a staff member vacuuming the concrete outside the hotel!
