Review of Salthill Hotel, Galway, Irelan...

Stayed here last week for few nights. Hotel is good but nothing exceptional. Breakfast served to table is very good granted the staff are ran off their feet but overall it seems to be working relatively good and breakfast to the table is way nicer than buffet. I ordered hot milk for cereal each morning and it always came barely lukewarm however. Personakly i felt the staff throughout the hotel seemed abit cold and 'just going through the motions'. Leisure centre as always is a fine facility and spotless. Biggest bugbear with the stay would be the terrible internet. I am with 3 so I never need wifi but I could barely get internet inside the hotel yet once I would stand outside the hotel, all my notifications would fly through. Even when I connected to hotel wifi it was equally as poor. While there are sanitation points, I felt there should be more throughout. At the lifts there is only one at the ground floor lift (and more times than not last week it was empty). In this day there should be some at each floor outside the lifts. I stayed in 2 other hotels since Covid and the sanitiser was far more accessible in them. Another suggestion to improve things is the residents bar in the function room, its abit dark and depressing. Might be an idea to play movies at night rather than just muted football. I would visit and stay again but there are a few rough edges that preventing the hotel standing out.
