Acceptable stay with minor issues

absent reception staff distant support
My arrival was UNPROFESSIONAL. No one was present to greet me. I located an envelope containing my key. Inquiries were handled by personnel at a distant pub. They sounded FRUSTRATED after several calls regarding problems I experienced.

The lack of immediate assistance upon arrival was frustrating. i found only an envelope containing the key. Any issues required contacting staff at a pub some distance away. after several calls about problems, they seemed quite irritated by my contact. the situation made me uncomfortable.
