Salthill hotel was a pleasure to stay in. Located near pearse stadium with an underground car park, a pool and gym, a restaurant and well polished lobby floors to skid around in your socks. This hotel has it all.

The staff were friendly but I think one of them, an American, who was half my age taught I was attempting to flirt with her. I wasn't, I just wanted a sandwich and a cup of coffee but I could tell she felt awkward and I in turn felt awkward realizing her assumption which may be a work hazard. The sandwich and the coffee were delightful but I fear for workers in the Irish hospitality industry who may have unwritten expectations placed upon them. I blame modern Irish trade unions for this. #metoo is not just for the film industry but a reasonable expectation of all workers.

I can not blame the management at salt hill hotel, the American worker was rotated with another worker at the bill time. I applaud this. It can not just be about the safety and comfort of the customer, it must be about the staff as well.
