Upon arriving at the hotel, there was no staff at the reception desk, I walked down to the restaurant to see if any staff there could help, and I could not find a member of staff there either. When walking back to reception a young man appeared from the back room, puuting his jacket on, I said I've been waiting a while and looking fro staff. He stated that he was on a call in the back, and when I questioned about the other member of staff from the bar area, he stated he was probably also on a call out back. Check in from that point was fine and the hotel was fine, dirty walls in the bedroom and looks a little tired but otherwise ok. approximately 30 mins after arriving at our room, the reception staff called to check we were ok with the room. I found this a little odd as that's not something that normally happens in a hotel.
