We were part of a tour, thankfully only staying one night at the Old Grand in Ennis. All paid the same rate, but our top floor room 518 had no A/C or ventilation (the windows could be cracked open slightly at the top, blocked behind curtains) and was dreadfully hot, even with pleasant outdoors and cooler temperatures in hallway and throughout hotel. The windows were closed and drapes left open to let the full western sun heat the room. Most of our tour group had A/C. The hotel offered fans, but would not offer another room. A manager came up and tried unsuccessfully to open the fixed windows. He said we could spend night with room door propped completely open to the cooler hallway directly across from the elevator! I thought the room might cool during the night, but it did not. In fact, it was so hot in the morning that it was wilting just to pack up. Such a shame! This was otherwise a lovely hotel with excellent food. During warmer months, be sure to avoid 5th floor, at least room 518 if you want to be comfortable.
