Adequate but with Issues

central locationunpleasant attitudereception staff
The location was central (perfect for exploring).
The staff attitude was a problem. I felt quite unwelcome upon arrival because the reception staff seemed inconvenienced. The girl at reception had an unpleasant attitude toward me, almost like talking to me was a burden (unbelievable!).
